"I only miss you every minute
of everyday. You will never
truly be gone, I will hold
you safe in my heart
forever."

"It's not always the tears
that measure the pain.
Sometimes it's the smile we
fake."

"The prettiest smiles hide the
deepest secrets. The prettiest
eyes have cried the most
tears and the kindest hearts
have felt the most pain."

"Some people won't be happy
until they've pushed you to the
ground. What you have to do is
have the courage to stand your
ground and not give them the time
of day. Hold on to your power
and never give it away."

"Suicide isn't cowardly.
I'll tell you what is cowardly;
treating people so badly that
they want to end their lives."

"Life doesn't come with a
rewind, fast forward or pause
button. Once it starts it plays
until it ends or until you press
stop. Never press stop just enjoy
it while it plays."

"My scars are awards for
your harmful words and my
death is the trophy. Congratulations
I hope you know that you won."

"No one knows for certain how
much impact they have on the lives
of other people. Oftentimes, we
have no clue. Yet, we push it
just the same."

{I am in no way trying to romanticize
suicide or self harm with this story. I
simply feel as though the topics brought
to life in 13 Reasons Why are important
topics that society has made taboo to
make people more comfortable. However,
these are not topics that should be brushed
under the rug. They are important and
need to be talked about!}

If you are suffering from depression and/or
having thoughts of suicide, know that you
are NOT alone. There is always someone
there for you, someone that loves you.

If you find yourself needing someone to
talk to, feel free to message me here on Wattpad
or through one of my social media accounts
listed in my bio. I know what it's like to think
your life isn't worth living or that everyone
would be better off if you weren't here, but
that's NOT true. You are loved. You are
important. You are special.
