A Living Is So Big story
Others NEED You
It was just like any other day, but out of the blue I felt the urge to text a friend I had not contacted for the past five months (at least). I knew this friend, who lived a few states away, had issues with depression due to past abuse and other disorders, but I had not made the effort to reach out to her in a long time.
But that day I texted her, and she responded very sadly that she was not doing well. Then later that day I learned that she was going to the hospital for her third suicide attempt!!
This devastated me. BUT then she told me: **"Thank you for being the one to text me this year. You gave me a reason to smile, a reason to live."**
Thank God I followed the urge to text her! Now I make an effort to reach out to her regularly and be the friend she really needs.
There are people around you who need you. Just to send them a text, flash them a smile. It can make all the difference.
This is why Living is So Big for me.
