Your one sweet word can do wonders!

Last night, as I was questioning why exactly I needed to be on this earth, my phone rang. I contemplated answering before I finally picked it up. As I answered, I discovered it was my younger brother. He called me at 2:30 a.m. He asked: How are you? I thought of telling him the truth of feeling hopeless, useless, sad, lonely, hurt, suicidal, screaming, pathetic, misunderstood, pessimistic, crushed, worthless, numb, offended, lifeless, incapable, shaky and bruised. But as I was about to start he told me that he had called me just to tell me how much he loves me, and that I am one of the most important people in his life. We aren't related by blood but it's something even stronger which keeps us connected and that's love!
Just a minute ago I was trying to find an answer to the query of how many tylenol do I need to take in order to free myself from the dramas life creates each day. But his call surely rescued me from the darkness of such insanity (that's what I call it now). Those were originally not the dramas life created but the ones I fabricated.
With time I have realized that part of being young is making mistakes. But what's important is that we grow and gain lessons from these experiences.. lessons which we can never gain any way else. Since then whenever life messes up, I always make sure of not ending up with that long face and shallow thoughts of giving up. My life has taught me that nobody would wait for us, there comes a point when everybody moves on.. what you need to do is ensure you move with the world too. Along with that we need to help others in doing so as well.
Always try that you express your love, share your enthusiasm, take actions towards your dreams, walk your talk, embrace your blessings and make each day worth remembering! Thinking of life as useless and giving up are the characteristics of cowards!
And now At least I'm not One! :D
