You are worth so much**
Think of all of the thousands of leaves
And of all the blades of grass
That would have never stirred had you not driven that car down the old asphalt of your hometown
Those people who you held the elevator for
Wouldn't have gotten to work on time
Think of every bird that never would have roosted in that tree you planted when you were 17
And of the squirrel that you braked for that someone else wouldn't have
You have a place in this universe
You are a sky of greatness
And without you
Nothing would be the same
You are worth so much more than you think you are. I promise that if you die, your dog will realize it immediately. If you die, all your friends at school and your teachers will be sad. I don't know if it's courage or cowardice, but I know that if you were to **** yourself, nothing would be the same. Just make a promise to yourself to get through one more day. I know it's hard, and you're going to fall sometimes back into that deep void that doesn't seem to have an ending. But just make it one more day. Once more.
