“Hey Look Ma, I Made It!”

This is what 24 looks like. This is what overcoming looks like. This is what’s on the other side of the storm.

This a letter to you; to the one who’s been struggling.

I never imagined myself making it to my 16th birthday. I struggled with suicidal thoughts for 8 years and throughout those 8 years, I attempted suicide about 15 times. Each one being unsuccessful.

This life that was given to me was too much for me to handle. I wasn’t supposed to be this person. I wasn’t supposed to be here. I hated everything about myself and I never thought I’d love myself again.

Every time I looked in the mirror, I didn’t like the person staring back at me. I couldn’t recognize her. She was a stranger.

To those who are struggling,

I just want to show proof that whatever you’re going through will subside.

You will make it until tomorrow.

You will make it to your next birthday.

Today, May 5th, 2019, I turn 24.

I struggled for a long time. I was constantly looking at the green grass on the other side knowing in my mind that I’d never make it there.

I made it.

I’m here.

You’ll make it too.

You’ll see yourself in a different light.

The storm will be over soon just take it one day at a time.

“I still haven’t found you, but I wait patiently for the day you come into my life. The thoughts of you in my dreams are worth all the lonely nights. I will fill my heart with love until the day I have the chance to give it all to you.” - William Chapman

She was too tired to feel anything more, she wanted a book to do to her what books did: take away the world, slide it aside for a little bit, and let her please, please just be somewhere and somebody else.

Everyone you meet is there for a reason. If you’re struggling and come across someone who is trying to help, jump at the opportunity to have it. They may not be on your path for very long. Like a picture, capture it while you’re in the moment. ❤️

“Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness. Sometimes a selfless gesture or a moment of reassurance, even something as simple as a smile, can be enough to save a person. After all, even on the darkest nights, all it takes is a single ray of light to illuminate the way forward.” - Beau Taplin • S m a l l  A c t  O f  K i n d n e s s  via

This is a message I received from a teen I helped.

This person came from Tumblr a few months ago and I had to share it. I did get permission from this person to share.

This is just one of many.

“You’re more amazing than I thought you’d be, Lexy. The day I came to you for help was the day I was planning on taking my own life. I had tried multiple times to reach out for help but it never went anywhere. Family and friends knew about my depression but didn’t know how to help. You were like an answer to a silent prayer. I wanted to leave this life for a long time but pushed myself for so long to keep fighting. That day I messaged you, I couldn’t understand how someone could literally drop everything they’re doing just to talk to someone like me. We talked for 4 hours about me and what I wanted to be. The way you made me feel like I was part of your life was incredible. You created this bond that made me feel alive. You made me feel whole again. You made the light finally shine through the hurricane that I thought wouldn’t end. You brought this amazing calmness when we were talking. My family thanks you everyday for bringing me closer to them. I couldn’t ask for someone as amazing as you to become a friend of mine. You were and are the best person I’ve known. I’ll be spreading the love you gave me and I won’t ever think twice about being genuine. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, Lexy. You’re the light of my life that will always shine bright.”

I’m always here for those who struggle to find the light. Always.

I want you all to know that this message right here is why I do what I do. You are important to me and I'll always tell you that. We may not know each other but, I'll definitely drop everything I'm doing in order to make sure you're okay. We can talk for hours about everything you want to do in life as well as get deep into the things you struggle with.

I'm only sharing this message I received because it's actual proof that things can and will get better with the right help.

You are loved by so many people. ❤️

I believe this is why I was put here on this planet. Everyone comes from different walks of life. Everyone has a story that has changed them in a way that a lot of us won't understand. My job is to listen to anything you're going through. Whatever you're going through, someone else is experiencing something similar. Don't ever think you're alone. Come talk to me if you need a push in the right direction. ❤️

[simply-believing]

I'm back, babes. I'm so sorry for being absent... I'm going to try to work my hardest to be here for you guys. I'm almost on my 3rd year with this blog and you guys amaze me with your strength. ❤️

Do you have that one musician or actor or any celebrity for that matter, that you can say saved you. Whether you were just having a really bad day, or you are struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts and something of theirs just caused a shift for you. They are the reason you are still standing today.

[simply-believing]

It's always okay. Don't forget to motivate yourself.

Sorry I haven't been as active. Life gets in the way sometimes. I'm here for any and all people struggling.
