NEVER GIVE UP!

Never give up; for even rivers someday w ash dams away.

We often feel like drowning because something is encapsulating us. We want to figure out if something inside of us is disrupted because it is causing us too much chaos. We face indignity, we struggle to build a skyscraper-like confidence, we put an earplug just to impede all the words that might bring us down but still all of these doesn't work because our very own self is such a maelstrom.

We force ourselves to breathe even though we don't want to continue our journey. We think it's better to cut it now because of the humiliation that we've dealt with. My dear, fight this urge that wants to put your long-life story right towards your epilogue. Think first that your story will just end into an open-ended phrase, "She/He manage to put an end to his/her life the moment she/he took a substance internally." or "She/He slash her pulse in the neck, end of the story." Would you like to finish it into a tragic ending that will surely tear one's heart into an unethical way?

Oftentimes, we thought that we can't fight a heroic battle anymore because we feel like everything had collapsed. We seldom notice that it is not just us who are facing a life challenge right now. EVERYONE HAS ITS OWN STRUGGLE TO FACE. It's just that, most of the people who deals with life-taking obstacle chose to face it rather than to run away from it. There's no use of killing yourself because these unsolved problems will forever chase you, it will never give you a feeling of relieved and you won't achieve the so-called eternal peace.

BE BRAVE. Put on the full armor of your remaining courage and stand with your own feet, touching the ground. Look above and talk to your God for assistance. He will lead you to a way that is essential and only made for you.

FOCUS. Stop thinking of things that won't lead you into succeed. Gain all your remaining strength and let the battle between your life problems and you begin.

At the end of the battle, it's a win-win type of game because if you win, it will be a challenge because you've unlock and unfold a new path for your life, an extremely adventurous way to learn more. If you lose, then let it serve you as a strength to continue rebuilding the incompetence in you. Just take note that ending your life is not always the solution in any obstruction that has come to detest our endurance.
