I wrote this for my best friend today and realized there are so many people out there struggling and some of you may even be on my page. If you’re struggling know this…
I need you to read this when ever you feel like hurting yourself or ending it.
There’s some thing I need you to think about, stories don’t just end with tragedy. They are filled with joy as well as sorrow, triumph along with failure and a beautiful purpose that precedes the tragedy. Romeo and Juliet’s story was one of insurmountable obstacles all out there in the name of love, their tragedy was out there to serve some greater purpose and while there story didn’t have such a happy ending, they died for their love.
I don’t think your story is meant to just be filled with tragedy and pain and suffering. I think this is character development so that when you’re faced with all of the good you’ll be able to recognize how much of a blessing it is. I think that when you finally find the daylight at the end of what seems like this eternal darkness you’ll find freedom.
“You and I both know there’s got to be some greater storyline for you than “girl gets heartbroken and is sad forever.” I think a nice one would be, “girl gets heartbroken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends, and the ability to look back and laugh at all she’d learned.” - @taylorswift
I know it feels like the world is weighing you down telling you that you’re not good enough and you’re not pretty enough and that no one cares but the truth is you just haven’t found the right people to show you everything thing this world has to offer for you and more importantly what you have to offer for this world.
Your story might not have had such a happy beginning but the good thing is you’re not very far in, you haven’t lived. You can’t say that there is nothing out there for you because you haven’t explored it yet.
Remember the only lesson that I have taught you that matters, be kind to yourself. It’s okay to show yourself the same grace you give others. This world has shown you every cruelty but I’m willing to bet it’s showed you a little sliver of light and no matter how hard it gets hold onto it, don’t let it slip away. Remember the voices of those who love you and forget those who don’t because they don’t know you and you are not defined by them.
I LOVE YOU AND I CARE ABOUT YOU!!! “You are not the opinion of someone who doesn’t know you or care about you. You are not damaged goods because you’ve made mistakes in your life. You are not going nowhere just because you haven’t gone where you want to yet.” -Taylor Swift
Now read that again and believe every single word of it because you are enough period.
