We lost a family member and the Co-Founder of IF I DIE YOUNG

Hey IFIDY family, It has been a very very rough 2 months. Many of you know Steven from this blog - he posted blogs and answered some of the anonymous questions that came in. Steven lost his life September 5th. He was my best friend - and a cornerstone of everything it took to get this organization built. We are not going to stop. We are going to continue on his with his beautiful ideas - which included helping ex-addicts reconnect with their children.  Please visit www.ifidieyoung.org for the full story and every blog and podcast that Steven spilled his heart out for.

I like being in uncomfortable situations because they are the only things that make me feel, but what makes me uncomfortable is not safe and I know it

I would love for you to message me so we could talk about this more! I myself have somewhat of a difficult time putting myself into uncomfortable situations but have been working on that since I've been a part of IIDY. I know that you want to feel alive, but your safety means so much to us, and those around you. Please let me know how you are doing! -Sincerely Sarha

CURE WITH LOVE

Cody is in ICU for the 3rd time this year. Lets pay it forward and shower this kid with support. 

Usually as an organization we rally around our friends that are going through the recovery process in rehab facilities. We have asked followers of the IF I DIE YOUNG tumblr to hand write letters to several of our friends going through the rehab process and it was a great success, I know personally that those letters effected them in a very positive way. This is from Peter when we did the same thing for him: “Theres nothing i can say to all the people that have reached out to me through this awesome movement to thank them. But all of yalls kind words and thoughts have helped me immensely through a rough time in my life. So to everyone in need and want the help you have stumbled upon something great here with these amazing people.” Today I am asking that we please come together as an organization and show our good friend Cody some support and love in a big way. Cody has been battling Cystic Fibrosis his whole life - An inherited life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. This marks the 3rd time this year he has been in ICU and multiple surgeries.  Being in a hospital this much really takes a toll and makes you feel very isolated, alone and scared.  Stamps are .21 cents at the grocery store and envelopes are cheap. So you can pay it forward for less than a dollar.  Here are some ideas to get started: Your art (hes a tattoo artist he loves art) Funniest story you got General good vibes  Your social media so he can add you/ way to stay in contact (if you want) Send to: IF I DIE YONG Cody Plant 21314 Park Holly Ct, Katy, TX 77450

Please share if you are going to do this. Today’s Date: 5/25/16

Hi. Lately I've been really struggling with the fact that I find life scarier then I find death. I don't think that id ever do anything that would end my life but it's never felt so comforting? I don't really know what to do. My mom worries so much about me this would rip her apart. I just never feel like enough. Maybe it's silly but being nothing seems like a really nice option. I hope this doesn't trigger anyone. Thanks anyways.

Hey there, I totally agree - being nothing really does sound like a fantastic option right now. I’ve been craving sleep so much lately, and I think it’s probably because I love the feeling of being powered off and being disconnected from everything.Life ABSOLUTELY is terrifying.....its confusing.....it’s a pretty fucking shaky bridge to be walking across honestly, just a gust of wind will flip the world upside down. I’ve never felt like I’m enough either - no sane person would. There are times I am proud for accomplishing a task or acting  a certain way in a situation that surprises me, but overall it’s a constant struggle that I am a waste - that my life is one big shitty joke with no punchline or plot. 

If our entire life was just one single day and death was when you fall asleep at 11pm - I wouldn’t waste a second of that day worrying if I was enough or not, because it doesn’t even fucking matter. I’m here right now and I’ve got the rest of the night to battle my mind with my inadequacies.-Your Friend Kevin
