Things that make you *try*

We all know those times that we want to lie in bed instead of get up.
Drink instead of deal with the problem.
Give up on that assignment because it's too hard.

But there are times we don't give up.
There are days we drag ourselves out of bed.
There are times we don't drink, or hurt ourselves, because there are other things more important.

So what are they?

What makes you try?

What's more important that this shit?

kowing that in all honesty, there is something better to be gained from trying and not being depressed.

I have to be feeling really bad not to get myself up for uni classes. Even after suicide attempts, mild or on the bad side, I've gotten up the next morning and gone to class.

Uni classes are important to me. Especially when attendance is important, or there are in class points to earn that add up and will help me get a better grade. Because in the end if I get a bad grade, I'll feel worse.

And classes get me out. And that's always a good thing. I feel that classes are a responsibility.

The next good thing - the sun on my skin or a good meal or making someone laugh or anything.

The people I love.

The thought that I have so much I want to do.

Holding onto the belief that the world is a beautiful place.

Knowing that it is better to participate, to take the shit, than to numb myself to it. Because if I don't feel the bad stuff I can't move on from it, and I can't feel the good stuff.

That there is good stuff.

knowing that hurting me doesn't take away the pain for good makes me try not to...

Well, it used to be JM. The text that says "be good". Knowing that you care, and that I would be letting you down. Now that I realize that you really dont care, that I am just another student that you have coached, I dont really know. I guess, now I try for Jordin. I feel terrible letting her down. She is the closest I have to someone who understands. I hate being the person who disappoints people... know what I mean?

My wife, because I know she loves me as much as I love her and that's ridiculous.

Our son, because... well that goes without saying. He's my life.
