Scientific (rather than religious) proof that there IS an Afterlife:
Ever hear that the chances of any of us ever being born is something like trillions to one against... yet here we are?
That's because scientists believe there is an infinity of universes... so that everything that CAN happen WILL happen in at least some of them.
Because of this, your life was NOT a trillion-to-one fluke; actually it was
inevitable.
Moreover, there is an infinity of universes in which
each of us exist. Therefore, your life is inevitable not just once, but an
infinity of times.
Because there ARE an infinity of universes, each of us will live life an infinite number of times - with concurrent infinite variety, so that everything that CAN happen to us WILL happen to us sooner or later, in one life or another. Only once per universe though, of course. Think of it as trans-universal reincarnation. And life will never grow old, because memories don't last from one incarnation to the next, so each one you live you'll think is your first one. In actually then, you've already lived billions of lives in as many universes and will live billions more.
Some of these lives will be similar to your current one; others will be completely different.
Does that help?
If not... well, maybe you're sad just because it's winter! Things will most likely look up in the spring. In any case, you're too young to feel like this. Hell, I'm 56 with a life nowhere near as interesting as it was when I was a teenager, and yet though I have fits of depression even *I* don't get all gloomy like that! Just think oif the positive things in life instead, and things WILL get better.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.
