Things Jack has said/ wrote on his whiteboard:
“You’re not a bad person, you can get out of it and I believe in you. If no one else believes in you just trust that I believe in you.”
“Please keep your chin up. You may not see it now but you are a unique beautiful individual in your own way, so keep on fighting and stick in there.”
“I hope I can be there for you, as a voice as a friend while playing games with you. If anyone feels lonley or depressed or anything like that, Jack is here.”
“Sometimes you gotta have downs, to have ups. It’s not always gonna be fucking rainbows and sunshine all the time, that just doesn’t work that’s not life. Life is gonna kick you in the hoochies every now and then you just gotta get up and go ‘Hey! That hurt! That made me cry. But I’m gonna get up stronger from that and not get kicked in the hoochies again.’ ”
“You have to have some of the dark times to be able to experience the light every now and then.”
“Failure is not the end.”
“Sadness isn’t weakness.”
“It’s not about the final product, it’s about the journey, the experience. Being able to look back and say “I did this!”
“Whatever you like to do, whatever you’re good at, DO IT! Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.”
“Do what you do. Do what makes you happy. And stop trying to please everyone else, just be happy.”
“Sometimes it’s good to take a deeper look at yourself and see the flaws so you can work on them and become a better person.”
“Learn your weaknesses and fears. Embrace them, then no one will be able to use them.”
“People are just gonna hate you for really stupid reasons sometimes. And you just gotta power through it. You just gotta ignore them. Don’t take the haters seriously.”
“You make me smile. Thank you!”
“If I can make one person smile or laugh everyday then I know I’m doing good.”
“Do great things. Work harder.”
“Whatever you’re going through is temporary. Suicide is permanent. It’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I believe in you and whatever you’re going through you can fight through it.”
“So please, keep on fighting.”
“Go out there and show the world who’s boss!”
I’m sure there are tons more and this doesn’t even include the countless twitter and tumblr inspirations he’s posted as well. It’s also one of the main reasons I respect him so highly and look up to him. Jack if you ever read this, thank you for making my world a little brighter everyday.
