Not many of you know this but today is Suicide Awareness Day. None of the people I'm a fan of have really made a message about it so I decided to make one of my own. If you would send this to your fans that would be cool.
I'm not disgusted by cutters, people that think about suicide, people that have tried, or by people that have taken their own lives. I am disgusted that society and other people can make some be so upset that they have to take their own lives.
I admit that I did go through a small stage where I thought about it. I never really had the ability to go through with it. I don't know anyone that has committed suicide but I know that I would be devastated. I would only be able to think about the 'what ifs.'
To anyone that has thought about suicide, thanks for sticking around. You're an even more beautiful and strong person than you'll ever know. Suicide does take courage but, making sure you don't kill yourself can take even more courage. It may seem shocking but life does get better. Eventually you'll move on or move out and life will start being better for you.
If you are reading this and thinking about suicide I want you to do me a small favor. Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That's called purpose. You're alive for a reason. Don't give up. Life is too short to make it even shorter. You've got a whole life ahead of you. There's one person out there you'll fall in love with. There's a future job waiting for you. There's unborn kids waiting to come into this world. You end your life and you end all that.
Every 38 seconds someone tries killing themselves. Every 14 minutes someone succeeds. Don't be another statistic. Be the one who changed. Be the one who became even stronger.
I'm going to end this by giving ya'll 2 jobs.
1) Always smile. Smiles are contagious and it is proven that smiling can bring up your mood.
2) Give people a reason to live. Don't give people a reason to commit suicide.
Have a beautiful day and stay strong.
