It’s sad because everything that happens to a person before they hurt themselves that way goes unnoticed.
People can be so wrapped up in their own lives that they won’t even notice the struggle of someone who sits right next to them, someone they talk to everyday…this doesn’t make them bad people of course. Everyone worries about themselves and tries to help others along the way.
But lately it seems like everyone wants to take their life. Everyone is feeling unloved and unwanted. Everyone is feeling ugly and fat. Everyone is feeling A L O N E.
But they are loved. They are wanted. They are beautiful and they aren’t fat. They aren’t alone either. They think they are because the rest of the world seems to have a different agenda. But just because the world is in a rush to do everything doesn’t mean that the people don’t care. We do care.
Anyone who has lost someone to suicide cares. Anyone who has recovered cares. Anyone who has attempted suicide cares. Anyone who is going through the exact same thing as you cares.
Please remember that next time you want to pick up that razor, or pick up that rope, or pull the trigger on the gun. Remember that you are cared about very dearly. People will mourn your death and once you are gone, you’re gone. So please, hold on. In that moment take a breath and convince yourself it’s not worth it.
And to the people who seem to have a different agenda, I’m not saying your doing anything wrong, but what all of us are doing, just isn’t seeming to be right. So what I’ll tell you is that I think we all need to take a closer look at the bigger picture. People struggle everyday and all they really need is to know someone supports them. Become friends with the girl who sits next to you. You never know what you might learn and you never know how much of an impression you might make on her.
Love more. Inspire more.

I have been seeing a lot of “if this gets 5,000 notes I won’t kill myself” or “if this gets 7,000 notes I will stop self harming.”
I understand that you need to know that someone cares, that anyone cares, but you guys need to understand something. We all care. Who is we? We is everyone on tumblr. Everyone who has ever lost someone to suicide. Everyone who is going through the same thing. Everyone who is recovering. We. All. Care. You shouldn’t need 7,000 notes to confirm that because here I am, confirming it. You are loved, you are perfect, you are beautiful, and you are living. Please, keep it that way. You’re life is too precious to be lost. Stay strong everyone. You deserve to. ♥
