Hey you.
Listen to me and don't shut this out.
You matter. you mean something.
You are here, on this planet, for a reason.
Yeah, life seems tough.
Yeah, it looks bleak.
But you listen here.
Every scar
Every bruise
Every fucking mark on your body is beautiful.
Female people hurt.
Male people hurt.
Agender people hurt.
Transgender people hurt.
Straight people hurt.
Gay people hurt.
Bisexual people hurt.
Pansexual people hurt.
Asexual people hurt.
People hurt.
You are not alone in this world; in this war.
There are people who care about you, who want you to live.
Trust me, I know how hard it is.
How much you want to take your life away, thinking it solves the problem.
Listen to me.
It doesn't.
The pain and anguish you are feeling happens, sometimes it affects people worse than others.
I know it doesn't solve the problem, and I am so happy you are still alive.
It hurts. It sucks.
I know it does.
But the pain fades away eventually. This dark corridor you are going down?
Eventually it will end, and the bright light will be so immaculate, you will be so happy.
Happiness doesn't seem to exist, does it? I know it does.
I've been in your shoes, you reading this, thinking that no one really gives a damn.
Thinking that you don't matter.
I know those thoughts. I've felt those thoughts.
Physically, Mentally, Emotionally.
I have felt those things. Thought those things.
I made those thoughts into a reality, I almost made suicide into a reality.
It's not the answer. Believe me, I'm happy that I'm alive.
I'm not ashamed of my scars, and you shouldn't be either.
Self-Inflicted wounds are the worst, But the marks they leave behind don't mean your life should end.
Because you listen, If I committed suicide, I wouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be able to reach you, and let you know one thing I wish I had known.
You are not alone. You will never, ever, be alone.
I know how it feels to be alone
And I don't want you to feel that.
I believe in you.
I know you will survive.
You will pull through this.
If you're battling a mental-war, emotion-war, or a physical-war.
Listen to me; You Will Prevail.
You will win.
And most importantly.
You are not alone.
