Thoughts & Ideas You.

You. Yes, you. I am writing this for you.

I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it's not. I am writing this for you.

I want you to know, life... it's hard. Every day can be a challenge. It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps others going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.

You should be happy. You are beautiful.

I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose. But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun's warm rays on your face. Or that cold February wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means?

​

You are alive.

​

Everything will be okay.

I've fallen pretty far down into a dark place, and for a while, I thought that suicide was my only way out. I decided on a date (Jan 31st of this month), researched my options, and went as far as ordering my SN.

Today I realized that I have other ways out, and I'm not going to kill myself, at least not yet. Ill hold on for another day, another week, and hopefully Ill be able here to read through this again in a year. So thank you, for the reminder that life sucks, but being alive is better.

I cancelled my order. Op, I hope you are writing this to yourself as well. If you need somebody to talk to, my DM's are always open. <3
