Please stay.
I know life can be unfair.
I know that you are probably experiencing things that I couldn't even imagine.
I know that people might try to help by offering you empty promises, or words of reassurance.
I know people might disregard your cries for help; lacking education voicing ideas of attention seeking.
I know sometimes it feels like it's not worth the pain, but your future holds immense potential to get even better than you could imagine.
Please stay.
Not just for me. Not just for your friends or loved ones.
While they can present an amazing reason to stay, above all you must stay for yourself.
Stay for the amazing possibilities that may await you in your future.
Stay to witness the healing that you oh so deserve.
Even after the longest storms and downpours, the sun comes out again.
Take cover and wait for the sun to shine.
I promise that the darkness won't last forever.
You may be struggling to find the light switch right now, but there are any people that would be pleased to hand you a flashlight or candle.
I know that I'm only a stranger on the internet, but I am here for you, nonetheless.
I can be the pair of ears and supportive presence you need.
There are so many people on this planet that would be happy to listen and help, if you reach out.
You are not a burden.
There are so many people that want to see you live your life.
There are so many people that want you to stay; even people that you don't know yet.
Reaching out and asking for help to stay is not a sign of weakness but rather one of the truest manifestations of strenght.
