Challenge
1-800-273-8255
This is the 24/7 Suicide Hotline in America. Here lately, I've read a lot of content that indicates high anxiety and depressive illnesses. The holidays are very hard for many people, and I want to create a challenge where you can hide for a moment until you get your thoughts together. You don't even have to be suicidal to call this number. I've called them during panic attacks and even general feelings of worthlessness. Please don't hurt yourself. The Prose community loves you too much to let you hurt yourself. I can't let another one of my friends be taken by self-harm and suicide. WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT GIVES YOU HOPE! It doesn't have to be particularly joyful or awe-inspiring. Just write like you are speaking to someone who is fighting to survive in the crazy world.

ANIMALS = PURE POSITIVE ENERGY
When all else fails, I find time with animals makes me feel better. Pictured is "KittyBear" a rescue cat that had gone through some traumas before I got him and to look at him in the picture, you wouldn't know it. I find inspiration in animals, cats especially, as emotional creatures like humans. KittyBear was/is also a conduit for me to explore unconditionally loving another life. Hugging and forgiving him for any and everything (not that he didn't get chided/trained within some boundaries.)
When I think I've forgotten what love, unconditional-forver love feels like, I consult KittyBear and remind myself, then turn it toward myself, that unconditional love.
Do you unconditionally love another life?
