What did you have to do to survive today?

It's the weekend when most people have their days planned and their activities to dash to. If you are one of the unfortunate ones, your day is not anything to raise hopes about.

Do you have anxiety as you wait for the good news that what you need more than a miracle will happen today?

Did you have to hold your breath until someone left the house so that you could take a shower in privacy without hearing s*xual innuendos and being touched without your permission?

Was the air clear of bomb smoke and the land free of imminent threat where you live? Or do you stay in the shadows until safety is announced?

Did you have your positive thoughts ruined by someone with their verbal abuse and negativity and threats? What's the use?

Where did you have to go to find the nearest restroom without feeling indecent about it? Maybe you couldn't hold it long enough and now have to hide from prying eyes to get somewhere to change clothes.

Was your depression so bad that your thoughts lingered all day about committing suicide? You had to stay busy and find ways to take your mind to another place. It was extremely hard and you struggled to figure out what you had to live for.

Did your friends beg you to come to a party that you weren't invited to and secretly wished they would leave you alone? How can I smile and pretend to feel something I don't?

Is there food in your cabinets and refrigerator or did you have to steal it to keep from starving and try not to get caught and killed?

Did you wake up so cold and hurting that you would give anything to throw yourself into a fire just to feel warm again? Or did you have to settle for a few rays of sunlight?

Stop. Be more than grateful. Try to make a difference in someone's life today.

I DARE YOU!
