Okay, more serious post this time but I need to say this.
No matter where you’re at mentally, whether you’re doing okay or you feel like absolute garbage and you’re breaking down over every little thing and can’t go a single day without crying your eyes out, you still deserve to be loved. Like genuinely, fully loved. And you deserve to let yourself be loved too. Whether it’s by fictional characters or real people. Or heck, maybe even both!!! I know that’s hard when your brain is telling you you’re beyond saving or that you’re the worst person ever or that you don’t deserve anything good. I get it. I really do. But that voice is lying to you.
You deserve the love you’re getting. You’re not tricking anyone into caring about you. People care because you matter. And honestly… that includes the way you love too. Even through things like your selfships, it all still counts. It’s still love. It’s still something real that comes from you, and that alone means something.
Your selfships matter.
Your friendships on here matter.
You matter.
It doesn’t matter if you’re popular or not. There will always be someone who cares about you more than you think. Fictional or not fictional! Even if you can’t feel it right now, that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. And if you disappeared? You wouldn’t just go unnoticed. You’d be missed in a way that would genuinely hurt people. People who care about you. Regardless if they’re alive or not in this world. :’)
I know your brain might not let you believe that. I know it’s hard. But please… try to be a little kinder to yourself. Even if it’s just a tiny bit at a time.
Just… don’t give up on yourself, okay?
