Of course, I'm not from your generation, but I know some who were perhaps not cutters that I know of, but their choices reflected a sort of self-harm to deal with life and events that had happened to them. Without the hope of Jesus Christ, I would not be here today.<br /><br />Livvie Lisa, some kids don't have parents who can speak into their lives. J. L.

I was trying to think of what my anchor might be if I were a Dreamtreader...and you reminded me it'd be God!<br />Duh ;)<br /><br />Beautiful post, Sir. It's rather awful how millions of kids don't listen to their parents when they speak from EXPERIENCE. Yea, they were young, too, once upon a time. Everyone has (or has had) the same troubles.<br /><br />Never alone.

The littlest variables can often bring about big changes: exercise, eating habits, sleep habits, time with friends, even the weather—can all change the way we feel over time. But more than that, body chemistry changes things. Speaking from personal experience with deep depression and based on the anecdotal evidence of dozens of personal friends and 100s of acquaintances, all of whom have experienced bouts of depression lasting anywhere from two months to six years, I can say with virtual certainty, it will NOT always feel the way it does now. Your picture makes you look young. If so, changes are even more inevitable. The important thing is not to give in to despair. Most importantly, the surety that God loves you dearly can be the anchor for your soul in stormy times. Never alone.WayneThomasBatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837713579691260482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19752207.post-73866967132390939772014-05-26T18:33:34.936-05:002014-05-26T18:33:34.936-05:00I beg to differ.
