End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list.
I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey
(who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show)
Here's an excerpt from the episode:
Nia: I want you to end it
Annalise: I'm sorry?
Nia: I want you to kill me
Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down:
Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitely don't .I'm sorry if you want to end your pain, so did I, but so does every body; that's life..
I'm sure many people can relate with Nia, you don't even have to be going through cancer to have wanted to end your life, like Annalise said;  she had thought about it a lot of times, (I have too,) but that's life. We all want to end our pain, (I hate having a headache, or tummy ache even menstrual cramps are a big deal for me) the real question is should be 'Can pain end on this side of eternity?' I highly doubt that. Nothing on this side lasts forever. Pain comes and goes, money comes and goes, happiness comes and goes, I can go on and on.
My point is that ending ones life is never the solution, it even causes more pain; for those you are going to leave behind. You may think its better to 'end it' but its doesn't really bring an end.
Personally it takes courage to live, contrary to what people say - life is beautiful, its actually tough, all one needs is grace. Lemme back up and say Abundant Grace. And grace to continue to live comes from above.. No where else.
I pray that whoever is reading this receives grace to continue to live, despite what you might be going through (pain, hunger, sorrow, depression, even happiness). It may be difficult but it's not impossible.
Have an amazing day.
With love, theInspiredCutiee 

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can...
