To anyone dealing with this kind of situation, please know you aren't alone, but it gets better. I promise. You get out of the bad situation, you find love, people support you, you start to love yourself, the pain you're in gets easier, you won't always feel this lonely, whatever is causing those thoughts, it gets better. Just please hang on. You'll find a reason one day, but you have to hang on until then. Look at anyone around you as tethers. Your parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, so, pets, kids, neighbors, nieces, nephews, the kids you babysit, grandkids, teachers, just anyone who needs you because I promise you, they do need you, but it may be when you're older that you find out you're the only reason some people stayed. Stay for your future best friend. Stay for the world that needs your wonderful mind. It needs your light, but it also needs your emotions, your stories, your beliefs, to be a better place. You aren't a bad person. You aren't unlovable. You aren't a mistake. God doesn't make those. You aren't stupid. You aren't lazy, or uncreative. You're beautiful, wonderful, amazing, kind, smart, even on the bad days, I know you've just been strong too long and need to cry, or sometimes you snap, but it doesn't make you a bad person at all. Even if we try to hide it, everyone struggles. I accept you as you are, and so many others will too, but please wait for the day to come. Don't end your story when its only just begun. You have to see it through so you can know your struggles became lighter, and it was worth staying for. I know its hard right now, and it feels like it won't get better, but I've been there, and it does get better. Hang onto that hope. You're a beautiful person, inside and out, and I hope one day we get to meet and become friends.
