“I didn't particularly want to live much longer than [twenty]. Life seemed rather daunting. It seems so to me even now. Life seemed like too long a time to have to stick around, a huge span of years through which one would be required to tap-dance and smile and be Great! and be Happy! and be Amazing! and be Precocious! I was tired of my life by the time I was sixteen. I was tired of being too much, too intense, too manic. I was tired of people, and I was incredibly tired of myself. I wanted to do whatever Amazing Thing I was expected to do -- it might be pointed out that these were my expectations, mine alone -- and be done with it. Go to sleep. Go to a heaven where there was nothing but bathtubs and books.”

think about Christ. Think about His cause, His life, what He went through, the whole plan God had since the beginning. Read about it. Read over His life again, let it be fresh in your mind. Relearn about why God had to send him, relearn the fact that God wanted a relationship with us, but it couldn't happen, because we sinned, so he sent Christ to fufill that covenant - for life, so we wouldn't burn in Hell, so we could be with him. All this is so elementary but it brings a lot of new things in to perspective over again when it becomes fresh in your mind. Then your problems and your life and the stress that you put on it seems so small in comparison - atleast for me. It's kinda huge what our cause is. What WILL happen to people if they don't know about the cause is about. Way too scary for me to keep still.
Though I'm afraid I will keep still. I don't want to though.
P.S. I prayed for you with the ACT! (:
