A Little Bit Longer

"As some of you may or may not know, this song was written about something really close to my heart. You know sometimes life brings out its complications and some hardships, but you know, it's how we deal with them that counts.

"And I know that each and every single one of you in this audience tonight have been through a hard time in your life before, right? I know that each and everyone of you have felt at one point like you can't go on. But then you found hop. There's always some way to find hope. Remember that..

"...There was a time in my life when I got diagnosed with diabetes, and I though that I'm not gonna be able to live my dream, getting to do what I want to do. That was three years ago. And I can say, today, that I played for 12,000 people in Chicago (or other cities).

"That happened 'cause I found hope. How many of you people in this audience tonight need to find hope? How many of you need to find a friend? And how many of you need to feel some peace? Well like I said, that's what this song is all about.

"And tonight, this song--this song is for you. This song is for every broken heart, tonight, and for every broken dream, for every high and every low. Don't ever forget it. Now, what I want you to do now is, if you know the words to this song, I want you to sing with all your heart and with all your soul.

" 'Cause something happens when 12,000 people in Chicago (or other cities) come together and sing a song. Alright? Not this song is for this generation and this generation is gonna sing it out." 

~Nicholas Jerry Jonas, About the song A LITTLE BIT LONGER. 

This is one of the most beautiful things I've heard a person say. It's true, if you're feeling sad, down, depressed ETC, don't give up on life, find something, someone, a song, maybe a puppy, or maybe reading, something that you love to make you be yourself again. Do something that makes you...yourself. Don't give up on anything, have hope and hope will guide the way. I'm sure that Nick Jonas didn't give up when he had diabetes, he most likely held his head up high, didn't look down and continued on with life. Anyone can follow their dream, whether it be a doctor, a singer, an actor/actress, a scientist, a judge, an Olympic athlete, whatever it is don't give up and have hope and maybe, as long as you don't mess up your life by choosing the wrong road and never turning back, you can follow your dream. It's all up to you to get to your dream. So..follow it. 

Now, if you've cried at all during this blog, comment. If you don't want to...it doesn't matter. Just never let go of the thing you want the most.
