You Are Not Alone
I am writing tonight to let you know that you are not alone. There are others going through what you are. I have been where you are. The truth is that you are worthwhile. You have value in this world. There are people that care about you. You will be missed. Life is worth fighting for. I know perhaps those positives do not appear in your mind when you are sunk in to the darkness. I know you are just hearing negatives in your mind. It seems like there is no way out. Life is simply too hard to live. The pain and torment you feel inside feels like it will never go a way. Ending your life seems like the only way out. If you are feeling this way, search out a tiny flicker of light. It is hard to see right now but, there is one. Hold on to that flicker of light. Fight to get to it. Fuck the darkness, the light is there to help you hold on to something. Grab on to anything positive. You may think there is nothing positive to think of but, there is always one thing. It could be thinking of a family member, a friend, a pet or even a place. Think of something you would miss if you were not here on this earth. Think of the sunrise or sunset. Think of a beautiful summers day, the warm breeze on your face. Think of the stars in the night sky. Hold on to something in this world that makes you smile. You are not alone. You do not have to suffer alone. Reach out. Talk to someone. Call someone. It can be your parents, a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a help line. There is someone out there that cares about you and wants to listen. You may think there is no point. Nothing will change. That is not true. It can change and it will. Help is out there for you. I am telling you this as someone who has been where you are. My life has changed. I kept fighting. I have found joy and happiness again.. It is a long journey but, there is hope. There is always hope. So please keep fighting. You are worth life, you deserve life and you are NOT alone.
