You have to believe me when I say that your whole life will not be like this.
You have to know that at some point it will get easier.
Highschool is so difficult and it feels impossible to find a balance between your mental health and your grades.
But this will not last forever.
All this stress over a GPA will not last your entire existence on this wonderful planet
and you have to know that.
Once you graduate, you will get to focus on what you really want to do with your life and what kind of person you want to become. Everything will start to fall into place and make sense.
I know how hard it is to not let it all consume you.
But you have to keep trying
because if you give up now
you will miss out on so much.
You deserve to be here.
You deserve to make it to your graduation
and you deserve to chase every single one of your dreams.
You deserve to celebrate your twenty-first birthday, and many more.
There will be a time when you find love,
and I mean real love.
Waking up and hugging your sleeping husband at 3 a.m., making eachother breakfast for dinner, and building a beautiful family together.
Don't you want that?
You deserve to experience so much more in life.
So please realize how small of a portion of your life highschool really is.
And realize that you deserve to continue living through the hard times to find true happiness someday.
Do not give up now.
You have to fight
giving up is too easy.
-C.D.
