Thank you for your comments; I genuinely believe that we are given the power to move the trajectory in our lives. Focus on darkness and despair, and more than likely, that's what you receive. Think of life and beauty, even something to look forward to, can dramatically alter our lives for the better.

I hate that I had to essentially drop this person from my social media connections; however, his negativity was becoming a burden on me. I am not the most spiritually strong person, but I'm trying to change that with positive thinking.

Unfortunately, listening daily to stories of sorrow, despair, and casual musings of suicide was enough for me. Such focusing on the darkness does no one, primarily the sufferer, any favors.
