my lighthouse

The past few years have been a very difficult time for me. I've had the pressure of trying to make everything better between family members, my dads cancer and the stress of university to cope with. I've found it difficult, there have been many sleepless nights because of thoughts running through my mind. This is where music (especially GRL) has helped me. Whenever I feel down I put my headphones in and block everything out, the songs help me to de stress and most of the time the lyrics explain how I feel. Therefore I want to say thank you to the GRL's and other artists for their songs, because I don't know where I'd be without them.

Secondly, my nan is my other lighthouse without her I wouldn't be where I am today, she raised me and made sure that I always knew I could talk to her. I Love you nan xx

My Pop

My pop is my lighthouse. Whatever I do in my life I ask myself "will this make pop proud?" Before I do it. If the answer is no then I won't do it cause all I care about is makeing my pop proud. He means the world to him and I don't know what I'll do when I lose him. I love him so much.

MY GRANDMOTHER

She was everything to me, and she taught me how to smile. She gave me all her love and since I was a child she knew what makes me sad and happy. Until one day from nowhere she go away and I know that I will always miss her. But in my heart I know she is still there giving me joy, support and happiness. I am so sorry for your lost. But I think that Simone is happy up there. Smiling for you girls. I love you so much. You make me feel so filled of love. I know that you will be extraordinary. You must to be for Simone and for every single people that you love, And for us, your fans. Because somehow you are giving us what my grandmother gave me. Love. XOXOXO

My mum is my Lighthouse because she is a tough, loving and overall amazing mother who still manages to smile and enjoy every day as it comes even though she has been through a lot. To name the few things my mum has went through is the loss of three babies called James, Scott and Hannah who I would have been proud to call family, and who sadly passed on to heaven at different ages to birth defects and also the diagnosis of breast cancer and cancer of the bowel. During her chemotherapy I still remember how she would clean the house, iron my school clothes, put food on the table, show her love and do all the other things you would expect a loving mum to do even though she was vulnerable and at her weakest. To this day she still does these things and even though I don't say it much, I love her so much and don't know what I would do without her. She could have passed at anytime and looking back at those dull times, every little thing she has ever done and still does for me means absolutely everything and more to me.

Music is my Lighthouse

My life has been pretty difficult for the past few years. Pressure from school, coming out as gay, rejection from my parents, my fathers alchoholism, self hatred, isolation in school, I've dealt with a lot in the past few years. There are times when I've felt like music is the only thing I had, and I realise it was. There were times when I strongly wanted to end it all, and because of music, thankfully I didn't, it does get better. I connect with music on a personal level. Songs from all different artists, including G.R.L. Thank you girls for making music, because it helped save me, music is the light in the darkness, and helped guide me out of it.

I've debated with myself to wether or not ill write this so bear with me My name is Rebecca and I am from Ireland, a country so small that it feels like the loniest place on the planet. I have to admit that I always feel alienated. I have a medical condition called tuberous sclerosis complex (mouthful I know) which causes me to have marks and non- cancer tumours on my face, body and internal organs. I have to go to hospital that is two hours away at least seven times a year to ensure everything is "ok" as I could be prone to diseases as well as getting an operation once a year which causes terrible scarring on my face for two weeks.It is a rare condition and I have no one to talk to about it as the nearest support group is in England. It constantly bugs me that I am different. However I am lucky that I have supportive friends who treat me like a normal person and don't judge me by my appearance or personal circumstances. My friends are my lighthouse. 2013 was a terrible year for me as I began questioning my sexuality, I never told anyone as my family were quite religious and thought gays and leis beans were different. My friends used to call me gay as a joke but it caused me to question it further. I was so depressed that I would get a frigates over the littlest things and my parents were only concerned about how angry I was. However I never share my feelings with anyone anyways. I don't know why. I broke my elbow too so I couldn't do sports particularly parkour/freeruning, my escape, so all I did was study for my junior certificate ( AP tests in America is the equivalent I think) . I was also doing physiotherapy on it as I could move my arm for a few months. Because I was doing nothing it made things worse as my thoughts could easily drown me. I sat away from my friends in classes as I felt like I was ruining everything for them as they seemed to hate me or use me as a punching bag for their insults. They called me 'spastic","faggot" ( other various words i dont want to mention)and that I "ruin everty thing" and tell me to go hang out with their sisters in first year because I was so annoying and I was pissing everyone off so much. Fortunately they have calmed down a bit and I am more comfortable with them this year. Luckily I never resulted in self harm, although it crossed my mind countless of times, even to this day, but no one knows that. I got a counsellor two months before my exams . She was amazing. She pestered me and forced me to talk and I finally did. She is my light house because I don't know where I would be without her. Lastly parents are supportive too as they have always helped me through my doubts about my medical condition and other things that bother me. I love "light house" because it is a reminder that everything will pass and be ok and that there is people who care in your life even though you are surounded by people who don't. R.I.P Simone, she will be greatly missed. No one should have to endure such a terrible point in ones life in silence.

my grandfather

my grandfather, was a colonel, Colonel Rodrigues, the died of kidney disease, I still was not born, but with stories that Grandma tells definitely was someone very heroic.

I'm lucky, I have 3. My three best friends, Hannah, Miah, and Tyler are always there to give me advice and calm me down and make me feel safe. My friend Griffin is the perfect person to vent to. I have such an amazing support system and without each and every one of them, I wouldn't be as close as I am to beating my depression and anxiety.

Support&Respect

Hello GRLNation, I'm a 17 years old girl from Indonesia and here's my short story.. Year ago, i was on my hard times or whatever you call it. Its not as easy as you think to stay strong while you're having a Scoliosis on your back bone. Feel pain almost everyday, etc. Friends, family, scoliosis, yes, i have troubles with that all. I cutted, self harmed. I never even put smile on my face, all looks dark on me. Until one time i have a friend ( her name is Roa&Shahd ) they were always trying to make me smile and they support me, gave me advice that makes me think Positive for the first time. I stopped cut myself from that time and started do something cool. Since that, I like edit videos (check out on @emmsbby_ if you want). Maybe you see someone stucked on their probs. and you dont even care about them because you have no respect. Please change, they need you.

My Lighthouse <3

I've got actually 3 inspirations & live savers at the same time.

First, it's my cousin, she's amazing. When I was in my darkest moments, she helped me, like nobody did. I talked to her and she every time found the words to say to help me and to reassure me. We live far from each other, but we got a lot of contacts. Without her, I think I wouldn't be here anymore.

Second, there are 4 amazing girls, who are called Little Mix, there are amazing. Their voice, their personalities, everything. I love them so much, they mean everything to me. These 4 angels help me to believe in my wish to audition to The X Factor. One of my biggest dream is to meet them and I really hope it will come true <3

FInally, my last inspiration is you, GRL, you're all my live savers. I love you soo much ! I know what happened is a terrible thing, but you're amazing. The lyrics of Lighthouse mean so much for me, it helps me to get stronger.

Today, I've got some dark moments and it's not easy. But I know that I've got amazing, adorable, incredible people at my side, to get over these moments and to get stronger <3

Margaux from Switzerland who loves you <3

My Bestfriend...My Brother...🍟

2012 wasn't the year for me. Everything, and I mean literally every single thing for me went down the drain. My best friend died in a car accident, my friends turned against me, my family turned against me, I was being bullied, I had nobody to turn to. My life was a mess. I would smoke, I would drink, I'd even do drugs and I would cut my wrists to relief the pain. Till one day, a kid that was in my English class for the past 2 years now reached out to me and lifted me back up on my feet. Mind you, I was a judgmental piece of sh*t and I did not like him at all. But he is the one and the only one who has helped me through my bad times and till this day we're the closest best friends anybody could ever find! He's my brother now and I love him! He may be gay, but I don't care!! I support him and all of his life decisions!!

I'm still standing thanks to my lighthouse

It is very difficult for me to speak it so openly…

The end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 were a dark years in my life. My life in high school turned upside down, I was alone almost all the time, and it affected my life at home. I started to fight almost every day with my family. Were fights and more fights, and often during these arguments some of them used to tell me things like "You must die" "my life would be much better without having you" "you just know disrupt the lives of everyone."

I felt lost, alone, and hear things like that made me start thinking about taking my life away…"If everyone tells me that their lives would be better without me, maybe i'll do a favor for them" was my main thought. I was completely desperate, and no one noticed it, no one helped me, it was like if no one cared about me. For months I tried to resist, I tried to control myself, I was about to take a path of no return and a part of me didn't want that, but it was a very small part and she was losing strength and giving up.

As an angel who fell in my life, I met someone on the internet, a sweet boy named Felipe. He became a very dear friend (who today I am lucky to be able to call him my boyfriend), helped me in my moments of weakness, stayed with me, gave me strength and told me not to give up. He was the only person who was with me when I needed it most, even though they live far from each other, he gave me strength and supported me, asked not to give up from myself.

Felipe is my Lighthouse.

I knew this project and the band through him, and when Lighthouse was released, the lyric made me think about what happened to me, and it was as if describing exactly what he did for me. I know that whenever feel alone, sad, wanting to hurt me as it did before, and having some dark thoughts again, he will be with me, preventing me from doing this, illuminating my life just like a lighthouse does. I can't not even imagine my life without him, I really love him and I'm grateful for all he did and does for me.

And I am grateful to you girls for making this incredible song and this project where I felt safe to talk openly about something delicate that I went through.Thank you so much

My mom is my Lighthouse

My mom has always been my Lighthouse, letting me make my own mistakes and fight my own battles, but never far behind. She's always taking care of me, putting my happiness before everything else. One of the strongest women I know. Unconditional.

lighthouses

There are a lot of lighthouses in my life, my family accepted my homosexuality and loved me since day 1, i am so grateful to have a father and a mother who love me unconditionally. I have a wonderful boyfriend and and this group of friends who support or try to support every decision that i make. 2014 has been a crappy year, so many things left me speechless, disappointed, sad and devastated sometimes. Faith has always played a key-role in my life, so here I am, writing this post in order to read that i have to be grateful for every beautiful thing that i have in my life and i have to carry on no matter what. The lighthouse lyrics are so so special, reading that words helped me A LOT, i know i have people who love me in my life, i know that i can count on them and still, i seem to forget.

I just wanna say that simone was precious, may she rest in peace, love u.

Hey, Whenever I feel down or upset bands help me, like G.R.L there music just really helps me and I wish I could see them face to face to thank them.

My light

Even though I didn't know her as long as or as much as my older siblings did, my grandma was a very special lady and impacted my life so much, I treasure the few memories and photos I have with her and just looking at them, it shows that no matter what she went through and battled at the time she always had a smile on her and was happy. She was the sweetest lady and so incredibly strong, I wish I'd got to know her better and spend more time with her and am lucky enough to still have my nan, who also is another strong influential lady in my life, surviving cancer, i love them both so much for being a major part of my life.

One boys courage

I never knew how cruel kids could be. I remember I hated going to school as a little kid because everyone picked on me; especially the guys. Being young I didn’t know it, but I was gay. The boys would pick on me and it got so bad, that I asked my mom to change me classroom. That still didn’t help. It then got to the point where I wanted to die, to end all the pain. I atemped it twice and lucky for me I wasn’t successful.

My mom then put me through therapy and it help and I also came to terms with my sexuality. Along the years, I grew strong and have always had my mom as a strong supporter.

I now like to give my time to others in need, I like to be involved suicide prevention walks and anything else to share my story and maybe be some sort of help.

I know recording “Lighthouse” wasn’t for the ladies of GRL, but that song has so much meaning and I know it’s going to help so many people struggling.

XOXO,

Danny
