I hope that you read this in time
Before your head gets the best of you
And you give in to the voices telling you that you aren't good enough
I hope you see this and remember
That darkness, while all consuming, can't last forever
And that hopelessness eventually turns into hope if you hold on long enough
I hope you know this every time you look in the mirror
That you were born a fighter and God wouldn't throw you anything you can't handle.
And you need to tell yourself this,
Every day,
Even on days you don't want to believe it.
I hope you see that there is so much more to live for
That puppies and babies will make you smile no matter how bad
you feel, so go visit one, or watch some videos, this will help you.
And one bad day, bad week, bad month, bad year is NOT worth
taking your life.
I NEED you to know that things get better
That this is coming from a person who has been where YOU are.
And that I tried giving up when I felt the way you do, and I failed
I NEED you to know how happy I am, that I failed
That my life turned around, and I learned how to fall in love with life again
And no, it wasn't easy
But I NEED YOU TO KNOW
To keep living,
To keep fighting,
To keep surviving,
It is SO worth it
And I need you to read this the next time you feel like it isn't
And then I need you to read it again.
Call a friend, or message me.
Just please keep living,
You are worthy of the love, and happiness, and laughter that life is going to bring you.
You are worthy of living.
