If I could write a note to myself at my lowest point, it would say... (fill in the blank)

Level 170 done and feeling more aware

breathe and dont harm yourself. you made a mistake but it wont matter in 5 years.

It doesn't get better

Life goes on.

You are you, stop thinking you are a mistake because you are perfect; you are what brings light through those closed doors.

Dont ever give up. People love you, life can be beautiful; just wait. 10 seconds at a time.

You may not believe you are worth anything at all. There will come times when you feel trapped and there are is no escaping from the dread. It may get so overwhelming that you turn to alternative solutions that will only bring more dread in the long-run. It will be frustrating being alone and having to deal with all the pressure on your own because nobody else "gets it".

Don't be disheartened by these situations. Don't lose hope because you've made it this far. You're needed. You're loved. You're strong. You're completely and without a doubt worth it.

You ARE loved. Just because it's midnight and you've got no one to talk to at the moment doesn't mean you are friendless. You have friends and they love you. Someday things will get better. Just be patient and wait. The teachers are trying to get you to be the best possible you, and that's a good thing. You'll be okay. Everything will be okay.

Hey, just because things are down doesnt mean you change. Youre a great, caring, loving person. Dont let other people dim your shine and stop comparing your outside to peoples outside. Its whats inside that counts!

Hey you! Why are you feeling so down? You think noone cares about you? You think everyone esle is better off compared to you? You think noone will miss you when you are gone? YOU ARE WRONG! This world needs you even if you dont know or feel it. Your employer needs you. Your parents even if they suck do care about you and will feel sad when you are gone. Your cousins will miss your jokes and smiles and lectures and cooking. The guy at the convenience store will miss you even if you dont know each others names. Stop comparing yourself to other people! You think they are happier than you? Well they have bad times too, its just how it is. Life is like a wheel, sometimes you are down, sometimes you are up. Hold on and just enjoy the ride. There will be days when you feel good and enjoy those days and try to remember them. Take a lot of photos. When the sad days come up, accept the feeling and remember the good days to cheer you up. Its part of being human. Its part of living. Accept all this feelings and dont let any quitting thoughts get in to you. Life is so precious that you have to fight it! Others are fighting it in the hospital, your battle is waayyy lighter than you think it is! Just enjoy the ride and call a friend okay? Love yourself! You are special! 💋
