Escape is only a heartbeat away

Walked past this graffiti under a motorway bridge this morning while taking the dog for a walk. It made me think and although I don't fully understand the meaning of the sentence I know it has a depressing tone to it. I thought that instead of "escape" it could rather be "hope" or "love" and it would still make sense as a sentence, but also make it a bit more optimistic. We never know what the future will hold in store for us, so it could well be that God already has a plan and this should give us hope to look ahead. If we go into life saying that every heartbeat is a gift from God to us, we can say that hope is always only a heartbeat away and look forward to the future. We could also say that Love is only a heartbeat away. I don't really believe in "love at first sight" but I think there is always someone there for us who will love us, no matter what. (And this does definitely apply to God as well.) We just have to look forward and be expectant.

Honestly my life has been very grim lately and although when people see me they wouldn't be able to tell, I have been quite depressed lately. The week at Lead Up has definitely been good for me and I hope that I find and receive the strength to work on solving the issues in my life. I also hope that I can learn to fully trust my friends. (which is very hard for me at times and it has nothing to do with my friends, only with how my personality is twisted)
I pray that God will help me in my daily struggles so that I might not only talk about having the hope in the future, but actually live for it as well.

Other than contemplating on these things and more, I've done a bit of studying and went out for lunch with my fam.
