it's terrible that people
actually hate themselves
because they aren't
a certain weight,
or don't have certain grades,
or don't have this or that,
and will physically cut themselves
open.
people are terrified of being
judged
because they don't look like
the person on the cover of
that magazine.
so maybe if we showed people
that it was okay to be who they
are,
instead of just saying,
"don't be afraid to be you!
as long as you're confident it
doesn't matter!"
then maybe there will
be less people
with slashes on their wrist
and notes saying,
"i'm sorry i wasn't good enough."
