	one day at a time Post By: staystronggg
	Message:	long story short, 18 years old; leukemia. diagnosed last year, in middle of parents divorce. aspiring young teenager, with everything in the palms of my hands; lost it all. no hope, no drive and nothing to live for. as each days progresses, i fell further and further away from life. further and further away from my friends. recently, i've surrounded myself with quotes. many of which were said from many people on this very site. happy quotes, inspiring quotes. and it really has helped. it's shown me that there's light at the end of this dark journey there's hope, even in the heaviest situations and there are more people willing to help out there, then anyone can imagine. it just comes down to taking every experience as they come, and one day at a time. "keep trying, never give up"
