why are you so passionate about this

I don’t feel strong anymore I feel like falling to my knees. Things aren’t the way they were before, They’re not the way they’re supposed to be.

Honestly;

I've grown tired of listening to people bitch about how much their life sucks. I'm too fat, I'm so depressed cause of this person. blah blah blah. I'll admit, I can be one of those people who complains about things. But, nobody is perfect. And nobody should be. But despite all my issues, I'm happy. Yes, everyone has their own set of problems, but that's what life is about. Dealing with problems and overcoming them. But, take look around you and see all the things you have. A roof over your head, food on the table and a family who loves you despite your downfalls. There are people out there who would kill the have a house to live in, and food on the table every night. And most, are all alone because their families have neglected them, or have all passed away. But, no matter what they have to deal with, they do it with a huge smile on their face because they're happy to be alive. Happy the be breathing. So, stop worrying about the little things and just be happy to be alive.

I tried everything. I smoked, drank, drove 100 on the freeway. Anything to make my heart feel the way it did when it beat next to yours.
