To The Girl Hanging By A Thread, Seek Life.

Let me start off by saying…

YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLY STRONG FOR FIGHTING THIS BATTLE FOR AS LONG AS YOU HAVE!

It takes strength, you have held yourself together for so long, there’s no wonder why you feel yourself slipping right now. You are only human which means you can only take so much pressure, hurt, hate, trauma... before the thread you are hanging onto just snaps.

“SEEK LIFE”

Two little words, simple right? This was exactly what I needed to see. You see, this little quote hits close to home for me without even realizing it. About a year ago I had slipped into the deepest point in my depression than I ever had before. I didn’t talk about it, I didn’t want to bother anyone… I was the girl who was always happy, “How could I ever deal with depression?!” Well, you see… When I did hit this point I hit it hard. I hate talking about it but I have to admit that taking my life did at one point cross my mind. I felt completely broken – I truly did not think I could have been put back together, but here I am today, a year later…

“SEEK LIFE”

(Yeah, that little quote I was talking about)

This little quote hits close to home… Lately, I have been feeling myself slip back into that dark place that I fought so hard to get out of. One morning while I was in bed I was scrolling through Instagram as we all do, and I came across this post with a girl wearing a hoodie that said “SEEK LIFE” and on the hood, it shows the words FEAR, SUICIDE, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION all with a line through them. Seeing those four words with a line through them meant winning a fight, it may be a constant battle but you are fighting and you are winning! You are choosing to “SEEK LIFE.” You can put money on the fact that I ordered that hoodie right then, and there.

It’s a reminder to me to always keep fighting because I will win the fight, and one day I will win my battle! My story is not finished yet, I was meant to do something great, I was meant to make a difference…
