POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING: Self Harm, Depression, and mentions of Suicide

It's tough, sometimes. There are nights when you lay in bed, a deep, empty ache in your chest as you worry about your friends, who have poured their hearts out to you, and rely on you to be their rock, and to be there for them.  

There are times when I'll be sitting in class, it'll be a good day, and a friend of mine will drop a suicide joke, and I'll just burst into tears. 

Depression is real. Self-Harmers feel real pain. Depression isn't something you can get over. 

Why can't people see that? 

It's as if they don't care that people die every day. 

My peers whine and complain because they don't have the newest iPhone, or the newest jeans, or the best purse, but they don't realize that some kids, their age, have only a blade for comfort. 

It hurts, just sitting here and writing this. Pain is a part of what I do. To help people, and to try to make them realize they are worth it, you have to try and understand their pain. 

Nothing hurts more than having a friend who doesn't see their own beauty. 

But, this part has it's upsides. 

Knowing that you really helped someone, and that you saved a life, and knowing that you're a beautiful and kind human being. Having people message you their stories of recovery, and tell you that it was you that started them on this road to self-loving...That's what makes it all worth it. 

And, my job won't be done. Not for a long time. In fact, I don't think it will ever be done. 

But, as long as I can help, I will. And, after I die, there will be someone just as compassionate as me to take my place. Someone will step up to help. There will always be someone willing to help. Never forget that. 

Because, even though helping hurts, it also heals.

I was going through the suicide tag on tumblr, because I track it, and I just kept flipping through and I just kept thinking: These people are all so beautiful. I just want to message them all and tell them that life is worth living but...I'm only one person, and I can only do so much.

I seriously cried while writing this. Just know, to all of you who I'm supporting (you know who you are), and even those who are just friends: I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. DON'T EVER FORGET IT.</b>

Thanks for reading everyone.

Do not use without my permission. It's my work, got it?

This, every day!
I hate how my friends have only one person to rely on, and I hate that they don't see their own beauty.

Shit, I'm crying now. I hate to know that I worry you sometimes, but because I'm pretty much alone, you're the only person that I know will be there for me. It's something that I'm not good at, I mean, I've never been good at supporting people, and I'm not good at 'making friends', per se. Just... you have no idea how indebted I am to you. I probably owe you my life, because of how many times you've saved it. Thank you so so much.

Girl, it's not a problem helping you, or anyone else. As it says, it's hard sometimes, but it's always rewarding in the end. I love all of my friends online like brothers and sisters, and knowing that I can help makes me REALLY happy. :heart:

You deserve it, love, because you're amazing, kind, wonderful, supportive and a beautiful person. You're an awesome writer, a person who obviously has their head on straight, despite the people surrounding you having their heads on upside-down and backwards, you're one of the easiest people for me to talk to, I can always go to you whenever I'm feeling down, or I had a bad day, and just vent about it without worrying about being judged, and you're like a sister to me. If you ever tell yourself that no one loves you, you're wrong, because I love you. I just think it's a little hard for you to see that. I'm here to remind you of that, every single day. And, if you ever fall again, which I hope you don't but I know that life can be cruel, I'll be here to help you back to your feet, and dust you off, okay?

Y'know, I have to ask my Dad, but I might be able to video chat with you soon!
