hey.
hey, you.
yes, you.

you're the one reading this, aren't you? 
well, let me tell you something.
you need to know.
DON'T SCROLL, please..
i know, i know i'm a stranger here on the internet.
but, I guarantee you, you need to hear this.
are you in a dark place? you aren't alone.
we all were there, y'know. feeling suicidal?
please don't. i think you matter.
even if I don't know you, i still think you matter.
you are the best stranger i've met.
so, do something for me real quick.
it's quick, i promise. drink some water.
WAIT! DON'T WIPE THE WATER OFF YOUR LIPS YET!
look, see how they shine?
see how they twinkle and glimmer? it's like you.
even in the tiniest bit of light, you shine.
if you want to take your life, think about something.
out of the 7 billion+ people on this earth..
someone out there, they think you're perfect.
they love you, so much.
imagine how much you'd hurt them if you left..
even if it seems unlikely, i can assure you.
someone out there, they love you.
so keep fighting. you'll win, no matter how hard it is.
"fight the storm to see the rainbow".
remember that, okay?
good, I love you.
stay safe, handsome/beautiful.


little girl: what's on your arm?
me: they're battle scars.
little girl: you fought in a war?
me: yeah. a long and hard one.
little girl: that's so cool! can i get one?
me: no. please do not ever get any. but I'll tell you what. whenever you see someone else with battle scars, i want you to hug them, okay? can you promise me?
little girl: yes. i promise.
a few days later we went on a short shopping spree. suddenly the little girl let go of my hand and ran up to another random teenager.
teen: why are you hugging me?
little girl: because... (*points*) you have battle scars just like my babysitter.
the teen looked up at me, and i rolled up my sleeves to show her.
with tears in her eyes, she said one thing to me...
teen: my war is far from being finished yet, but i'm not done fighting.
she bends down at eye level with the little girl
teen: thanks for giving me the strength to keep fighting.
you are forever my war hero

not mine, thanks for reading <3
