Please know that.
Please.
Today in school, the principal made an announcement that a student died yesterday.
They committed suicide.
I didn’t know this person, but I know what it’s like to fight against yourself… fight against your mind.
I know that sometimes life gets tough sometimes.Β Trust me I know. If you’ve read my posts you know that I know. I know how hard it can be to fight your mind. The one organ which holds all your creativity, your knowledge, your memories, pretty much everything.
I know it’s hard not believing what it believes. IT’s hard fighting against it. But you have to believe what life shows you, what people show you.
I know that sometimes you just want to dig your hole of darkness and never come out of it. But you never know the impact you have on someone. You never know what taking your life will mean to your family and friends.
Life might be absolute crap. I get it, mine is crap too. But you have to fight.Β That’s easier said than done, right?
But trust me: You’re not alone. Whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone. That’s what’s made it easier to fight, for me. I have people who care about me and love me. And DO NOT tell me that there is no one in this world who loves you or cares about you. Because there is.
There is someone out there who will listen to what you have to say, what you want to say. There is someone who loves you. There is someone who can’t picture life without you in it.
You might as well count me in as someone who wants to see your light shine. I want to see you fight AND fall, because you’re going to fall. But you can’t fly without falling.
I want to help you feel loved. I want you to know that this life would not be anything without you in it. I don’t care if you don’t believe that you had an impact on this world, and you believe that no one will miss you. That’s a lie. You made an impact on so many people. You matter. DO NOT let your mind convince you that you do not matter. That this world would be better off without you.
You ARE Loved. You have no idea how much and by how many people for sure. But trust me: You are Loved.Β Do not let the darkness win.Β
If anyone ever needs to talk I’ll be here. And I really, truly, absolutely mean that. Whatever you’re going through I want to hear it, I know what it’s like to feel alone and I would never wish that on someone else. So many people use this phrase so much but I mean it. I don’t care if I don’t even know you. I want to know you. If you don’t believe me, I truly mean it. Please, you don’t have to fight your battles alone. You are Loved.
I love this so much. This is wonderful. Preach. ππ»
