This is Bright Friday.
Don’t give up on life.
It is never too late to live your life.
When they tell you that you can’t afford it
Or that you are no good at it
Or that it’s too difficult
Or that it’s too late
Or that this economy is too poor
Or this world too dangerous
Or you have a mortgage
Or you need health care
Or that our world is collapsing
And that you can’t change
your life
And there is no hope
And you have too many kids
And college bills to pay
Or that you need to have a friendly talk
with your doctor,
And give him money to buy your diapers
And take your pills.
Or when they tell you
that you aren’t good enough,
and that noone wants to hear your story.
Or you feel too guilty
Or too scared.
Don’t give up on life.
It is never too late
for life.
Don’t listen to people who tell you that you can’t live your life. Listen to people who say you can.
I can tell you this because
I did not give up on life and never will.
