I'm not here to tell you that it gets better

I'm not going to tell you that the world is made of rainbows and butterflies, because it's not.

There will be days when you're in so much pain that you won't want to move.

People will break you heart into so many pieces that you think you won't ever love again.

Sometimes you'll have so many losses you give up hope on ever winning again.

Life sucks, it does, but it doesn't always have to suck. I get it, you're hurting, I'm hurting too, but sometimes you just have to take life into your own hands.

Get up out of your bed, wipe your tears, take a shower, and go enjoy the sunshine. Dance it out to your favorite song, go eat some mozzarella sticks. I don't care what it is, just do something that makes you happy. Move around and get your fresh air. I know it's hurting and I know it's easier to lie in bed and cry, but getting over your pain will not be easy. Seek professional help if you need. Do what you need to take care of yourself.

No matter how much someone breaks your heart, never give up on love. You will love again, in fact, you will love even harder. Work on loving yourself, work on loving your friends and family. Heartbreak is painful, believe me, I'm very aware, but it won't last forever. Find something you love. Rebuild yourself and realize that you are more than who you were when you were with that person. Dive deeper into school or work or reading. Learn to love the world around you. It's never easy to move on, but you won't move on by giving up on the greatest gift we were given.

Losing isn't easy, especially when it seems like you can never win at anything. It's no fun when things haven't seemed to have gone your way in forever. It's so easy to give up hope, but don't. One day you will win, and when you do, it will feel that much better. If everything went right all the time, we would never appreciate the good. You'll get your degree, you'll find someone to love you, you'll get what you deserve. Never give up hope; hopelessness is a dark and dreary path. Just wait, something good will happen.

You are so much more than your pain. You are not broken beyond repair. You are lovable and one day things will go your way. It's not going to be right away and it will take some time to put all the pieces of you together. You've got this, but can't do it unless you try. I know it's never easy to try and piece yourself back together, but sometimes you just have to. Life is never easy and you'll rarely have days that are all rainbows and butterflies, but all the bad makes the good so much more worth it.

You've got this, just keep fighting.
