Hey!! Are you planning to give up? Well... I once wanted to give up too.... I was tired. I was tired of living.... Everywhere I turned I saw nothing but hopelessness. You are right!! I was losing hope. Living felt bothersome, I couldn't understand the world's clock and so I couldn't catch up with anyone who's running. My clock? well it wasn't working at all. I couldn't go back in time nor could I get ahead of it.... The world wasn't revolving.... I was drowning and I knew it.... Somewhere between the cold breeze I felt in this world and people's gazes which burnt me, I felt peace in the ocean which was drowning me,slowly closing my eyes....... But then! I heard a voice " Hey!!! You can't drown yet! You hear me? what about me then? why don't you understand? look around you... if you look around you with a smile all you'll ever notice will be smiles... Come on now, live!!!" the voice woke me up. And do you know who that voice was??.... It was life... I was about to drown when it held my hand and asked me "Why are you so determined to drown when I am desperately trying to save you? Hold on to me..." And I didn't drown that day! I did what I was told... I lived!! Although I couldn't always look around the world with a smile but whenever I did, I could see nothing but smiles. I was following death as it took me to the dark and just when I was about to be engulfed by the dark, I heard life! It told me to have hope... 'hope! '. Life pleaded to me to not end it's existence and I thought for awhile and asked death to wait a little more and went running to life. There's this saying that "when you are tired of life, hold on to the most trivial happinesses that are offered and cherish them and as you live there will come a moment when you realise it was all for this", I quite like that saying but for me every little happiness in every moment makes me feel grateful that I didn't give up on life... Death's silence taught me lessons but life's voice saved me.... And that is how I SURVIVED......
