Listen up all. This goes out to everyone who is tired of living what you're living right now. Whether you're cutting yourself, or spending your free time crying, or doing anything along those lines, STOP.
No seriously. You have no right to do this. Your future self called. They said they want their happy back. Because face it. You're not always going to be like this. You'll find happiness. You just gotta wait. And if you can't wait? MAKE IT. You have the ability to make yourself happy. First off, stop doing the things that make you unhappy. Easy rule? Hell yeah it is. But seriously you actually have to notice when you aren't enjoying things. Personally, I watch anime all the time. It's my thing. But I realized that sitting down watching anime all day was making me even more upset, so I stopped. simple as that. If you can't think of ten reasons why you should be doing something, and smile while thinking of each of them, don't do it.
And no, justifying hurting yourself by listing reasons with fake smiles? Doesn't count. You know that. You know it's not helping you.
You thought I wasn't serious about the list:smile thing? I was. Do it out out loud. Now.
If you really want to hurt yourself, there are better ways to do it! Like:
-Getting brain freeze from ice cream
-Going to the gym. That makes you burn in a good way!
-Eating spicy food either because you like it, or for a YouTube challenge XD (upload it and send me a link!)
-smashing your face into a cake. Alternately smashing your face into ice cream but trust me that is not fun. Especially when you smash your face into the same ice cream as your best guy friend... Long story. XD
I know that you don't listen to adults when they say "it gets better." Or listen to your friends when they say you're beautiful, but you do realize the adults are the ones who have already been through what you're going through. And don't give me that "no one understands me" bullshit, because you're 100% wrong. Trust me. I thought the same way until I realized, hey, they do know what they're talking about. That's what makes them adults!
And your friends? Well they know what they're seeing. You're a snazzy fresh beauty with stars in your eyes. Your smile is like... Crest commercials and the sun had a baby. Whatever you see in the mirror isn't really you, since your friends get to see you when you're happy. Genuinely happy.
There are things in your life that you can't change. The constants, whether that be parents or siblings or being pan or bi or gay or trans or asexual like me, they're not going away. But who says that has to be a bad thing? Embrace them. Literally. Go to whatever family member is closest to you right now and HUG THEM! If you have a bad relationship with your siblings, make it better. You have the ability to do that. Sad about being single? Eat a pint of ice cream while watching Netflix. You have the ability to do that too. Someone doesn't agree with your principles, or is holding you back? Either talk to them politely explaining the struggles you're having or PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE! I recommend not doing that one though since it usually doesn't end well... Yes I speak from experience.
You don't realize how many things in this world you actually have an effect on. You can change things you don't like, and you can also change people. Talk to your parents. They want nothing more than to help you. Seriously. Even if it seems like they're always yelling at you, or they disagree with your morals, they don't understand your struggle. So help them understand.
You are not perfect. I promise. If you were, the government would probably take you away for dissection and testing. I'm not going to say the cliche
"You're the most beautiful you!" And "no one can hold you down gurrrrl!" (Who actually says that XD) But I will say this: if you're unhappy right now, find the reason you're unhappy, and change it. Easy as that. Just switch it around. Do a little loopdy loop while you're at it.
Remember, you can trust me because I've been through what you're going through. Seriously.
(Your brain: no you haven't! No one understands me!!!)
Hey. Youre just psyching yourself out by saying that.
