To help someone asend their suffering would mean possibly putting them in a position to do better than myself. Especially if they are already doing OK while suffering. Also their suffering is their own fault, I didn't do anything. Why should I exhaust my resources for someone else. There isn't a lack of resources, some people just aren't resourceful.

I got kicked out of HS my senior year because I was pregnant. Got a job, not a career, to raise my daughter. Had 2 more kids after that. Decided to get my GED at 24 and went back to college at 32. I wanted my kids to know that it doesn't matter how old you are or what you go through in life that anything is possible. I graduated with dual degrees one in Business Management and the other in Accounting at 38 and my GPA was 3.86. Moral of the story... it doesn't matter how old you are or what life throws at you follow your dreams. With hard work and dedication anything is possible! You don't have to follow other people's timelines... follow yours!

Don’t be ashamed of the suffering. It is part of the human experience. Seek help if the suffering is controlling a part of your life.

I have health issues that have thrown serious wrenches into my schooling. It feels terrible knowing that literally everyone I know did the standard college to job path with no hiccups and I will probably have to reapply for grad school because my deferral will run out before I get better. I'm so losing my race.

The weak breeze whispers nothing the water screams sublime. His feet shift, teeter-totter deep breaths, stand back, it’s time.

Toes untouch the overpass soon he’s water-bound. Eyes locked shut but peek to see the view from halfway down.

A little wind, a summer sun a river rich and regal. A flood of fond endorphins brings a calm that knows no equal.

You’re flying now, you see things much more clear than from the ground. It's all okay, or it would be were you not now halfway down.

Thrash to break from gravity what now could slow the drop? All I’d give for toes to touch the safety back at top.

But this is it, the deed is done silence drowns the sound. Before I leaped I should've seen the view from halfway down.

I really should’ve thought about the view from halfway down. I wish I could've known about the view from halfway down—
