Everyone I love, my boyfriend, my grandmother, my friends, and my BUS family. This is why I try, because that's all worth trying for.

*rambles, and also, potentially embarrassing*

I try for the people I love, the people I loved, and the people I will love.
I try for them, and I try for myself.
I try for the people who give their time to help me, I try for the people who believe in me.
I try for the people who are kind to me, the people who tell me things will get better, the people who tell me I'm not a horrible person..

But I also try for the people who put me down, the people who tell me that I've ruined everything, and my life won't amount to much. I try for them, because I want to prove them wrong, and I want to surprise them..

I try, for the people in my future.. my future friends, my future boyfriends, the teenagers I want to help when I hopefully become a youth worker, the people I want to help in Africa.

At the end of the day, I try, because God put me on this earth for a reason, and he CAN and WILL use these awful times for his glory, if I allow him to. He will work wonders in me, and through me, and I try, because this life is the only one i have on this earth. I only get just one time around, I only get one shot at this, to quote a song..

I try so I can keep rescuing and caring for cats
I try so I can improve my life so I can be in a position to offer help to others

Hope for the day I can wake up and feel ok
The day I can say my childhood no longer has power over me
We're all stories in the end.

my workers who are teaching me new skills and helping me learn stuff I missed out as a kid. Life skills that I felt ashamed for not knowing by now. My workers teach me and encourage me and give me constructive and objective advice. It can be called criticism but even if it is harsh it doesn't fit the negative connotation that the word criticism may imply. Their efforts make me want to try... and try harder!

At the moment, my boyfriend is the reason I try. He's my reason for looking forward to the next day, my reason for getting up despite the pain and the cold and the depression. He creates happiness that breaks through my sadness.

The fact that I know things are going to get better, if I'm willing to make changes in my life that I'm afraid of.

I try for my girlfriend
I try for my little brother because he looks up to me.
I try for my parents
I try for my friends
I try for myself, because I want to look back and know I tried my best.

I try for my family.

I try for my friends.

I try to prove some people wrong.

And at last and most important:

I try for myself, knowing there will be better times.

I try for my best friends.
I try for the promises I've made them.
I try to give someone else hope.
I try to show someone else that they can do it too.
I try because I may just give someone their reason to go on.
I try because it could save someone's life.
I try because me trying has already saved someone's life.
I try because she's stopped doing drugs with my help.
I try because he stopped cutting with my help.
I try because she started eating with my help.
I try for those who gave up.

I try for my sweet precious niece.....because she appreciates everything that I do for her....cards, notes, surprises, and presents....she never says I don't like that, she always says Thank you for...and I really loved that,...and of course, I love you!

I try out of guilt...that suicide would hurt those who care about me.

Since starting uni...Steve, one of my tutors. I've done so much because he thought I'd be able to, or because he encouraged me or offered support. Now I just have to think of his face if I can tell if I've done something I'd previously thought was impossible. And the people I've met here too...I try for them.

I try because of my little brother.
I try because people look up to me.
I try because I want to be the "older sister" I didn't have.
I try becase one day, I'm going to reach my dreams.
I try so that one day I can share my story, and bring hope.
I try so that my past, my father, and her will have no hold on me.
I try, so that the next time something traumatic happens, I will know how to handle it.
