open your eyes and look forward... :) there are a lot of reason to live...

You will live, as we all do, from moment, to moment, to moment. Each moment leading to the next.

There are many reasons Kalli for going on, but mostly for the lives you will touch. The smiles you will pass on, the joy of each sunrise, and majesty of each sunset. There is so much and art is the best way to express hurt, anger, frustration or just beauty. You do that so well. I'll be privately emailing you.. hugs :)

:) living sounds easier than it is... I just don't have the strength anymore...

What a sad pic. I agree that sometimes life seems a lot easier then what it is, especially if you feel lost or sad. The oposite is true too, sometimes life seems more hopelesss and difficult than what it is. And you do have the strengh, you are stronger than you think. ppetersen is right in what s/he says, the problem is that when you're surrounded by the darkness, nothing really penetrates. You hear, read what pppl are saying and your brain understands, but not your heart. It's like it doesn't reach it. But hang in there, you can and will turn it around. Everyone gets more than one chance on happiness, love and other good things in life and that includes you, even if you can't see it now.

Awww! Sweetie!! When are you coming back? I need to talk to you, over msn, or over e-mail. Babe I hate you feeling sad! But a smile on your face! :-D Hang in there hun, and don't let anything get to you. Loving ya always! Chanel. x0x0x0x0 extra hugz n kisses

A simple point K,a friend of mine had a love she thought would last forever at 15 and it ended when she was 15 because her family got uprooted to move to Korea with her pop.She came back to the states when she was 22 to find that the love of her life had married another woman but by that time had grown up enough she could handle it even though it crushed her.Three years ago his wife left him but she was the one who was now married with two kids.She decided to go after the love of her life and sacrificed her own marriage to do it only to find afterward that he still loved his ex wife and she still loved her husband...what they had as teenagers would always be with them but she went back to her husband and he patched up things with his ex wife~life moves on,life changes,love can survive forever and yet still you move on to find new loves which in time prove stronger.You have your whole life before you...wait til you get near 40 and hit midlife crisis lol,then you'll really appreciate the benefits of being young because you're old enough to know how to build your life and young enough to do it.Trust me K...I never married because I never trusted love which means I have no children~it hurts like hell that I didn't but if you let yourself grow older you'll learn to deal with pain and find happiness~you won't let it beat you,you just put it in its place and perservere:)

Maybe others can find another life... another love... another future to hope for... but i can't...

Kali, there are many reasons to live!!! There is always another love to find if you keep your heart open! There are going to be good times and bad times, because this is how we learn and how we grow and improve!! There are many wonderful things waiting for you in life... Search for them and they will bring you happiness!

Kalliandra, this may be very blunt, but I will say it and I do not say it in anger or judgement but from experience. Thinking that way is a very selfish thing. Thinking that way makes you push away the people around you and closes any door to a potential relationship and leave no chance for your intended to find you. I was in a relationship for 7 years with a man who held me at bay because he was caught in the "shadows" as he called them, or the darkness. He finally pushed me away after cheating on me and having an affair with someone else and having a child with her. His actions hurt everyone around him. Staying in the place you are in will only deprive the people around you of the joy of you and your art. Take solace in your art, and love life! Use your art to heal yourself. I did. You may be scarred more deeply than I was, but there is something worth living for. Did I mention that I am now married? :) 7 years is a long time, but I learned to move on, you just need to make that choice. That's all it takes - deciding to move on. He now sits alone and mourns the love he lost - me. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. :)

Its the small things in life that keeps us going, its not love, people have lived happy without love for ages.. Love yourself, and see any moment withsome one else that you like as a precious gift. I some times ponder over the meaning of life. and the answer is never the same. But I live on, because Im curios over what tomorrow will bring.

There are so many reasons for living my sweet friend, but I understand that when you feel so alone and lost..and it seems like you lost the love of your life, it's really hard to believe that there is more to live for. I've been there, but believe me, things will be better, I can't tell you when, but it will. There will come a time when you will feel that life is worth living again, I only hope that it won't take too long for you. Promise to take good care, Kali. (If I was better in english, it would have been much easier for me to tell you what I really mean, but unfortunately I'm not) Hugs and many warm thoughts to you from Hedda
