I was going through some very hard times, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I was downtown, and this was when I had just come out of remission, and standing on a crosswalk bridge watching the water, of the Wabash River. I was and had been in a dark place at this time, but, I didn’t want to go on any further in life.

What in life does it mean to be friends? Is it worth giving a stranger, a smile or hello? What does it mean to lose your heart to callous nature? Is it because we give up on life? What does it mean to just lose how to love, or care for yourself or another? Is it just simply wanting to give up and die? For this is what plagues me in my heart, oh Lord, and this struggle gets harder wanting to die!
