I haven't talked much about him but just know,Benji..he saved me in every way a person can be saved. He made me feel like I deserved to live when all I wanted to do was fall asleep and never wake up. He was there for me when I wanted to give up, he dragged me out of that hole I so desperately tried to escape each day. He saw things in me, I didn't know were there. He was the person who made me stay.
I was stuck in a daze of what felt hours long. I probably never would've got up if it wasn't from the blaring sound of sirens echoing through my ears. I instantly knew who those sirens were meant for. I knew if I didn't run I would be caught in an instant, but my legs didn't feel strong enough to hold me up anymore, my hands couldn't even form a fist and my heart?... well that was a different story, it felt like a ton of bricks was weighing down on my chest, like my heart was seconds from bursting, if I'm being completely honest I was ready to just stay there but in that moment the only place my mind went to was Benji. He never let me give up, no matter what I was feeling he would adapt.
Happy? He'd make me happier
Stressed? He'd put on some Disney and wait until my lips finally turned upwards
Sad? He'd try make laugh and if that didn't work he'd just sit with me, and wait, until I was ready.
It never mattered what was thrown at him, he'd always pick it up from the ground and fling it straight back. I really admired him for that.
He'd always say this specific quote,it went something like this:
"It's okay to fall sometimes, just as long as you get back up."
