About This Quote

When you feel alone, discouraged, and depressed, the last thing you want to do is give up. Doing so would mean that the people closest to you would be in pain. And that’s not something that anyone should want to put their family through. No one wants to suffer when they once had a family.

It’s why when you’re feeling down and out, you should always remember: it doesn’t matter what you think of yourself or your life, or what others might think of you. It only matters what your people think of you and how good they feel when they see you.
