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!
