Question for those, that have been through a lot in life

[MattTheSkywalker]

Every time I see a dude in a wheelchair I tell myself I am a total loser. Every time I see someone handicapped out and about, I realize how easy life is.

If I remember to put in maybe 5% of the effort in everything I do, that these people do just to get through day to day life, I will achieve more than I could ever dream.

If you are healthy, both physically and mentally, you have nothing, nothing, not one single thing to complain about.

It bothered me to hear lucky people bitch and complain about bullshit... when i was in school, there were plenty of girls like this... cried because revlon discontinued her favorite nail polish!! or some cried because they didn't make the cheerleading team... or because instead of a new BMW, daddy got her an Audi. whoa, what horrible tragedy!! I wondered, why the hell are they complaining

I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 15... most of my teenage years were spent in and out of hospitals, undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, and worrying about not making it to see 20. I was angry at life, didn't understand why. Slowly things got better... i responded well to treatment, found a perfectly matching donor and had a bone marrow transplant which put my cancer in remission. It is now 5 years later... I found someone who means the world to me, and am now in love, engaged, planning my wedding, and healthy again

I have to agree with several differnt points. I haven't lived an easy life theres no doubt about it. And there was a time where I too was thinking, "Man, I don't wanna live, but I'm sure don't wanna die either. " The things that were going on in my life were not terrible, i mean, I wasn't dying, no one in my family was dying, but yet these feelings took their toll on me and I couldn't control it anymore. But then I'll hear stories of people who are dealing with a real crisis and then I'll feel worse for feeling so bad!!
But I've gotten through that with the help of my family and my best girl Pink... I know now that there is someone out there suffering more than I am at this moment and that I have a lot in life to be thankful for. AMEN!!

Exactly!!

We have this guy at the gym who is in a wheelchair, yet he still makes it in at least 3 times a week to work out. If that doesn't motivate you, nothing will.

Im not happy, i bitch and moan a lot and then when I fel better realize I must sound like an ass, however I won't start talking like Im about to kill myself to people, suicide will never be an option for me, its crossed my mind before, but never stayed and never something I gave serious consideration too, its the cowards way out...Im not happy, but I don't have it bad either, you can't fucking force yourself to be happy, puttin on masks is stupid and pointless because you are being a phony, I say what I feel and think, don't lie about it and try to act all "chipper" if Im not..but Ill accept whatever is thrown my way and deal with it

Try walking in someone elses shoes. People die everyday. Some people do live past 3 years old. Be grateful for what you have because there could always be someone who had less.

It's stories like your's that make mine feel insignificant. Your story was life threatening, mine was life altering. This is the type of ordeal that makes me think what happened to me is no big deal.
