im asking you to stay here. i cannot tell you why, i dont have any other reason except i want to see you here. i want to see you as happy as you can be. please, do what you can to stay. to find happiness wherever you can. i know that it is selfish of my to ask this. but i’m asking you anyway. take care of yourself. if not for yourself, then for me
All of these posts are what I started to feel once I got better from my depression and anxiety, granted I'm still not a hundred percent okay, but for the first time, I do see hope and I understand why people believe in a better tomorrow. Because it's real, it is very much real. It's not some self imposed delusion, nor collective ignorance — things, oddly enough, do get better. Sometimes it's moving away from home, sometimes it's getting a new job, sometimes it's cutting off people, sometimes it's the smallest thing that finally makes it all click and rewires your brain to stop being your worst enemy but an ally.
Staying alive and surviving should no longer be enough, that's a start but the bar is low. To learn how to live and learn about yourself throughout the rest of your life, that's the standard. To be kind to yourself in spite of everything.
