"Reaching Out-Depressed With A Purpose" Text

For much of my life, I felt hopeless. I felt lost. I didn't think I mattered. I have been physically limited since I was 4. I don't even remember how long I have suffered from depression. I was existing but not living. The Lord gave me the imagination and the ability to write even before I believed in Him. He is so Awesome! Then I had a talent but so what. It was only a hobby at first. I was still deeply depressed. I would escape into my imagination and my writing. I didn't have anyone I could share my deepest depression with. When I started to believe in the Lord, I started to have hope. I'm not saying my depression was gone but I started to have hope. One day I realized even though I am physically limited I could still do something. I didn't have to be just a person in a wheelchair. I could do something important. Maybe I won't impact a lot of people. But if I can positively impact one. That is something. I feel I have a purpose. Everyone has a purpose. Some haven't figured out what their purpose is. I know my purpose. Yes, I physically limited. Yes, I am in constant pain. No, my depression has not completely gone. But that doesn't mean I can't do something worthwhile. If I can help just one it is worth it. To quote my own character (Ty) if what I have been through can help someone I am glad to help. We all go through something. We can't give up. Sometimes we have to work through our depression even if we are crying as we do it. We all have a purpose. You just need to figure out your purpose. Don't give up if you haven't figured it out yet. You do have a purpose.
