Do you feel like giving up?

Do you feel like you can't go on?

Place your hand on your chest. Feel that? That's your heart telling you it hasn't given up on you, so you better not give up on it.

Is it a bad test grade?

Is it a guy turning you down?

Is it just an overall bad day, week or month?

Are you losing a friend?

Is it your own self image, tearing you apart from the inside out, ripping your chest to shreds?

I know. I feel your pain.

And I know that you will see the light again.

You'll get a better grade.

You'll find someone else.

Your bad days will turn around.

And, you will learn to love yourself.

I know that if you're sitting in your bedroom right now, crying, and praying for things to just stop being so hard, and stop falling apart, you'll look at this and laugh.

To you, I'm just another random person on the internet, telling you that it's all going to be okay, even though I have absolutely no idea who you are and what is wrong. (But really, I do know.)

I know where you are because I have been there. I know just how hard one person can cry. But I also know, that just one person can have a huge impact on someone else, without even knowing it.

I know that every single person in this world, means the world to someone else. And, if you don't know who that is, you will find out.

Life stinks sometimes, but it can also be so magical.

Life can test you, it can try to rip you to pieces, but you can come back. You can build yourself back up and piece yourself back together. No matter your mistake, everyone would so much rather help you fix it, than see you break a little bit more every single day.

I promise that once you dig yourself out of that hole, put yourself back together, as taxing as it will be, you will find your fight again.

It's easy to look back.

It's easy to think about how great the past was. It's also easy to count every little mistake that you made to get you into the mess that you are currently trying to push out of your mind.

And it's easy to hate yourself for those mistakes. It's easy to start to tear yourself apart because you hate every single breath you take and every single move you make.

Never, ever, hate yourself.

We all make mistakes, it's human nature. And believe it or not, every single human being on this Earth has fallen apart at one time or another in their life.

You probably think that I'm crazy. How could the super strong, happy, loving, beautiful and perfect person that you are thinking of right now have fallen apart? They haven't always been that strong. They became that strong, that beautiful, that happy, by building themselves up.

And I'm sure they still have doubts, everyone does. We all doubt ourselves, but we need to overcome those doubts, we need to push past them. When someone is brave, that doesn't mean they aren't afraid. It means they are afraid, but they are pushing past that fear.

Now you need to be brave and push past your self doubt.

So to you, the girl sitting alone on the park bench.

Or you, the girl trying hard to push back those tears as she pushes her way through the never ending day.

Or to you, the girl crying alone in her dark room.

Or you, the girl who is so tired, she can't even cry anymore.

Or to you, the girl who just wants to give up on herself.

You are so loved.

You are so strong.

You must believe in yourself, be brave, and hold your head up high. You must love yourself. You can do it. Just keep trying.

Love,

Whoever you need to hear this from
