Someone could be smiling one day and be gone the next. Because smiles hide struggles.
We all know someone that we’ve lost to suicide or has tried to take their life. And we wish we could’ve done something to help. Or maybe you don’t know anyone. Maybe that person is you. Maybe you’re considering it right now.
I don’t know what you’re going through, your story or your situation. But, what I do know is that the answer isn’t going to be found in ending it. And while life may seem hopeless and you may be suffering in ways that you think others wouldn’t understand, there is always hope.
Don’t let this be the end of your story. Your story is only beginning. And you have so much to live for.
Maybe you feel alone, lost and confused. You feel like everything that could possibly happen to rain on your parade has happened. Perhaps you’ve lost someone who meant the world to you or you’re stuck in a funk that seems like it isn’t going to end.
It may seem like life is overwhelming you and you can’t breathe. You might be struggling with anxiety or depression or something else. Maybe you have a lot of pressure on you right now and it’s a lot to live up to.
Whatever it might be, you’re numb to everything and you think the world would be a much better place without you and you don’t see the point in living anymore. You’ve keep everything bottle up for so long wearing that smile and now it feels like you can’t do it anymore.
But, maybe you’ve also forgotten how lucky you are. Because the fact that you are breathing means that you are a miracle. There are so many people out there that don’t make it to that point and would give anything to have the life that you have.
No matter how much you think you have or don’t have, you still have more than someone else. You have to remember what makes you happy and for it, live for yourself.
Don’t be scared to tell anyone how you really feel. To ask for help because you don’t want anyone to know or you don’t think anyone can help. The people that love you will understand what you’re going through.
All you need is to remember how to truly live life to the fullest. How to enjoy life and every breathe that you take and live for yourself and not for anyone else. Appreciate the precious life that you have.
I know it’s hard trust anyone right now but you must know that you will be alright. It’s a process. And it’s something you have to work on each day.
Thinking about ending your life didn’t just happen overnight, it happened over a period of time. But, you’re strong and whether you feel it or not, there’s a fire inside you that wants to live.
Living is always better than leaving.. Surround yourself with good people. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable because you’d be surprised what people have gone through. Reach out, people want to help. Don’t keep it all in. You’re not ever alone. You were put on this Earth for a reason. You have a purpose.
Your life is worth it and matter. You are loved and wanted. You have so much to live for. Your story depends on you, and it isn’t over, so please stay.
