I share this because there were points in my life where I believed that I was better off dead than alive.

Learning to relate
We spend a great portion of our lives trying to get to know others.
Understanding yourself
you will never understand your choices if you fail to understand yourself.
Hey Bro (you got what it takes)
I am fully convinced that you have everything that you need, to be all that you were created to be, at this moment in time.
Hey Bro! (one brave step forward)
Just like your mess got started with one simple step…. one simple step in the “right” direction is all you need to get started on your comeback.
Hey bro! (imagine)
I know that this is the last thing that you want to hear… but you have to give yourself permission to imagine what life can be like outside of your mess.
Hey Bro! (Who were you?)
Pain causes us to forget who we were.
It causes us to forget our purpose.
It causes us to lose our dreams.
Hey Bro! (Who told you that?)

…. but you don’t have to believe that lie.
Hey Bro! (falling apart inside)
I believe that you matter.
I believe that you deserve to be heard.
