depression

•13 reasons why not•

1. your friends and family will care. no matter how much you tell yourself they won't notice, they will and they will care.

2. you have so much to live for. whether you are a teenage girl or a 40 year old man, there is so much more for you than suicide.

3. there is always someone who is here to listen or to just give you a hug. it may be an internet friend or even a stranger. I know I'm always here to talk and I'm sure a lot of others would say so too. my DM's and ears are always open.

4. you always have something to look forward to at the end of the day. it may be listening to your favorite band, writing on wattpad, or drawing. maybe you're waiting for a concert you're going to. there's always something to look forward to.

5. you are beautiful. no matter the number on the scale, the cuts on your wrists, the stretch marks on your thighs, you are beautiful. always remember, scars aren't ugly, they tell a story.

6. there is hope. you can find it anywhere. even in the dead of winter there is hope for spring. maybe your life is just in winter right now. that's okay. spring will come.

7. things will get better. I know you don't believe it. but trust me, there is a reason to hold on. you will never regret waiting it out.

8. the world can be a beautiful place if you look past the ugly. look at the flowers growing in your backyard or the birds soaring through the air. look at the waves crashing at the beach and the grass growing green. these things have no worry.

9. you have purpose. you are here for a reason. it doesn't matter what that purpose is, it's important. you may not be Martin Luther King Jr, but you might make someone feel like they're not the only one going through a bad situation. that alone is an accomplishment.

10. you are not alone. there are many people going through a lot of the same struggles you are. ask me, ask other people here on wattpad, ask people on social media. you'll find many people who are feeling the same way and you'll find you can talk to them about it.

11. you are loved. it may not feel like it, but there is people out there who love you more than themselves. it may be hard to believe since I probably don't know you, but I love you.

12. you can do it. you can make it through this life. find something that makes you happy and hold on to it. never let go. you will make it.

13. think about when you can turn your life around. think about how awesome it will be to love life again. that alone is enough to get me through life.
