"If you're going through a really hard time, I do believe you can get through it. I don't believe that's the be-all and end-all of everything. It might not immediately get better, and life never does.... but life is one of those things that's worth fighting for." - Sean McLoughlin / Jacksepticeye
This quote resonates within me, as I suffer from mental health illnesses - as you may have seen on my DA front page, I suffer with PTSD, along with other mental health related issues. This, along with Jack's/Sean's positivity pushes me to get through the days I don't think I can fight anymore... to take another breath... to wake up another morning. I am fighting against my mental illness and I have a team of professionals helping me, but there are days that you feel like giving up... and I find myself drawn to either my artwork, or watching one of jack's/sean's videos so that I can re-focus my mind.
And if Jack ever see's this....
Thank you for being that beam of light that comes through when I'm in nothing but darkness. Thank you for offering your hand to pull me back to my feet to fight when I don't think I can anymore. Thank you for offering your insight and guidance, and your positivity - without it I don't know if I would be here.
And lastly, to anyone else suffering with mental health illness, keep fighting. Everyday can be a struggle, and it can seem like it will never change, or never get easier. But it does, it's not something we can fix quickly, but it's something that CAN be changed, that we all can overcome no matter how great or small. Always look for that beam of light, or the one thing to keep you going - be it a loved one, a pet, a friend, a youtuber, or a hobby. Find it and cling to it. Use it for the days you don't think you can make it through. It's ok to have days where all you can do it make it until tomorrow, so long as you make it. Much love <3 Tory
