Breathe when you feel like giving up. Whatever the problem is, it will not go away by breathing. Breathing will not make the pain leave. But breathing will remind you that you are ALIVE and you can get past this. Breathing will remind you that someone is breathing with you, and in the end, if you stop breathing so will they. Blood will always stop running from a wound but the scar will always remain. Look at the scar, remember why and how you got it. Most importantly breathe and remember that no matter what, YOU survived.
I wrote this during a dark time in my life and I hope it inspires others.
