Gratitude Post #6- One Conversation

I'm grateful for one conversation.

On this certain day,

I reached out to someone I cared about.

I went on a drive with them.

We ended up sitting at a lake and talking.

I told this person how I had been feeling for a long time.

I told them about how I was tired of all of the hard times I had been through.

I told them about how I wanted to end all of my pain and suffering...

Rather than overreacting, this friend listened to me talk for a long time. I explained how much I was hurting.

My friend was there.

Once I was done, my friend asked me some questions.

My friend shared some experiences, as well as some insights.

To be honest...

I don't remember much of what was said that day.

The thing I remember most about that day was one lesson.

"Suffering alone is the wrong way to go through life"

I still struggle, however I am eternally grateful that I have friends and family who care enough to listen to my story.
