    • About Me

      I'm smart, funny, and loving. I love watching movies, exercising, and helping others. I also love to shop. I don't like people who treat others bad and I believe you should treat people the way you would like to be treated. I like mixed martial arts, any type of music preferably rock, rap, or raggaeton. I also like to travel and explore other cultures.

      I read your post. I'm on the same page as stevebhopes. I'm glad I was not successful. Just try and take it one day at a time. You have something to offer the world, some purpose, or you wouldn't be here. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

      Zanybeeper told me that you were having a rough time. I am a survivor of multiple suicide attempts. I can only say that I am glad now that I failed. I know right now you can't see any hope but I promise you that things can and do and will improve if you just hold on. Please call a crisis line and your doctor. Go to the hospital if you need to. Things have improved for me and they can for you!
