“Not everyone who goes down a dark path comes out safe and sound. Please don’t let go. Keep your head up. I’m supporting you. Look, your testimony is in this test. I know because I have walked this path. There was a time when I was suicidal. Oh, it was a dark place. But I’m still here.

But not everyone has the privilege of being able to talk to someone. That’s why I’m here cheering you on today. You know that saying: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?
“Yes. You will come out better. So it doesn’t matter what you’ve lost. It doesn’t matter who left you. You still have the most important thing left. You’re still breathing. You’re still here. You’re still alive. That’s the most important thing.”
