What encourages you and gives you hope in the miserable world?
As far as I’m concerned, nature is my motivation, and the love my family gives me as well. Even on my darkest of days, their smiles lights up my world enough to get me through to the next day. I still have days where I see the worthlessness of life and I question my existence on this earth—it’s a never-ending battle—but if they are by my side, it makes it easier to handle.
How about you ?
Once again my warmest thanks to you.
