I want you to do something for me.
I want you to create a list — a list of reasons to live.
Anything can go on it! Big or small. There's no right or wrong.
I personally wrote one a few weeks back and it’s been helpful. I found I had a lot more reasons to live than I thought!
Some of my reasons include people I care about, activities I love doing, Starbucks, and movies.
There’s at least something to live for.
Think about it for some time if you can’t think of anything straight away.
Maybe it’s a pet?
Maybe it’s for that future that little you dreamt of having?
Maybe it’s to create change in a world that needs it?
I would encourage you to take a picture of your list or screenshot it if it’s on your phone. Then I would like you to set it as your lock screen or home screen on the main device you use!
I didn’t think of this until someone recommended it. I didn’t know if it would help but I gave it a go anyway.
And guess what? It is a GREAT reminder every time I turn on my phone.
So, I think that you should try it too!
Keep fighting,
You got this!
All my love,
-Zara
