This book is about unconditional love - loving the self, loving God, and loving the life
that He gave us. It was written in the aftermath of a phase where I was contemplating
suicide. This work is a view from the other side - what happens when you don't kill
yourself, but instead pray to the lord God, the Almighty One, and find solace in healing
your body, mind, and soul.
Mental illnesses are real and can be debilitating. However, if you love your family and
friends, you may choose to stay alive just for them. Suicide kills not only the person, but
the entire family and leaves a whole community in shock. Do you want to leave behind
pain and suffering? Or would you rather not give up and choose to believe that your pain
and suffering has a purpose greater than yourself? Let's face it. Life is hard and survival
is challenging; but do you know that this journey can feel blissful with the right amount
of love and friendship.
I hope the next few pages help you in understanding how I cope with my mental illness.
Try to grasp that your journey is an experience that God wanted you to have. This
experience will help you in growing your consciousness, so you may bloom like the spring
flower spreading your fragrance around. The fragrance being your joy that you find in your
reality. In essence, the glimpses of joy you will have should be sufficient to tackle the pain.
Seek God in all your endeavors!
