Hurting
I suffer from severe depression to the point I can't get out of bed somedays. Helping someone whether I like them or not gives me a reason to get up, and it helps me feel like a person. The most important thing is that perhaps God wants me there to help because it might make both of feel better, physically and emotionally. And who knows? I might miss that person even though we didn't get along. They are in my life for some purpose, healing, teaching, growth, or perhaps a test.

I wish i knew about abstence when I was a teenager.
My parents had no foundation to raise me on. I am disappointed in myself as a teenager not to say no. I never realized that finances are everything about marrage. I wish I knew you when I was15 when I lived in Denver. I wish I was raised in a Jewish family when I was young. I am now going through conversion and Jewdism classes and for the first time I am at peace with myself and with God.

Anonymous 3- a person may have a toxic attitude based on something that your volunteering can change. So we can not always judge a book by it cover. Anonymous 1 - sometimes what we feel "obligated" to do the Almighty El uses to change our hearts. That is the reward of the mitzvot that allows us to become a better person.
