Essay by David Rotsch

     We always fear the unknown. They say the devil we know is better than the one we don’t. 

     There is light in every night. The darkness is never total. There are people who care and love you. There are still more that would be lost without you. If you want to make a change in your life, you have to make a change in your life. It’s as simple as that. 

     Each step forward is a step further from your past. Your scars will fade and your memories will be replaced. Life will go on and it will get better. There will be a learning curve. And there will be tears of frustration as you learn a new way. These tears are different from the ones of pain you seem to drown in each night. 

     You are worth the effort to change. You are someone to love. You can do this; I believe in you!
