Hello everyone.
My name is Zack from Malaysia and this is my first post on Steemit.
I love collecting quotes.
For this first post, I'd like to share my first quote and the story behind it.
About 7 years ago when I was 18 years old, I was in a bad place in life. Really bad.
Many times during that phase in life, I wanted to end it all.
It was by happenstance that I found this random picture of a quote of sorts from the Internet.
Source: Can't be confirmed. The link I used previously has been long dead.
I saved it and kept reading it, hoping that my efforts will make things better.
It kept me going strong, even when I wanted to so very much give up.
By a quiet miracle of sorts and through my efforts.. my life changed for the better. There was so much pain that.. even when it was all over, I was numb with relief and I wasn't sure how I would start over.
7 years later and here I am, kicking and alive.
It was only about 5 years later I figure that I found this picture was called the "Holsteen Manifesto"
Ever since then, I have always collected quotes of sorts and going through them when I feel lost in life. I hope this quote will help me as will it help you.
Thank you and if you found this post helpful, do comment!
