Have Faith, and Come Back to Life.

Letter to “Everyone with Low Self-Esteem and Suicide Thoughts”

Right now, I know you are not thinking positive anymore. Right now, I know you are scanning the internet to seek for something “you don’t even know what it is”. Right now, I know you are listening to “melancholic sounds”. Right now, I can see your heart is broken to death by the closer friend who used to share your life, bring you joys, feel your pains, wipe your tears, and calm your sorrows. Right now, I can feel you are finding yourself in the middle of nowhere, in middle of an unending desert, in depth of an immense ocean with no ship of salvation around. Right now, I can see you lay down somewhere around, spending the last dimes from your bank account in this packet of cigarettes on your hands, jobless, and alone. Right now, I can feel your heart beating in an unusual way.

Right now… also, is the best time of your life, if you are able to be reading this. I want to tell you “stop being so mean to yourself, for whatever you are going through right now, know that someone is ready to share your pain, to help you surmount your sorrows, to help you resuscitate the giant and the hero inside you. Someone is ready to help you redefine your way up. Someone is ready… I can tell you someone is ready, because I trust in Him.

Because I trust in Him, I can tell you there exists no man who ever lived without highs and lows in their journeys. Human is by nature weak, but the brain we possess is by nature strong. Regardless of the path you chose or the destiny that chose you on yesterday which led you where you find yourself now, right now there is always a last chance to start over, and break every chains that keeps you from moving forward.

Right now is not the moment to be freaked out for who you are. Right now is the moment to feel proud of what you have experienced, and to be grateful to life for choosing you as a tool of heroism. The more you have surmounted, the more you should feel inspired. You should feel inspired to share your stories, and touch the heart of someone who has no clue on what it means to be marginalized, to be poor, to be feel helpless, to be hungry, to live desperate, to be alone, or to have nothing. Right now is the moment to stop reading these lines, and start writing about “what hurts you inside” on top of your “Facebook timeline, twitter page etc.” Right now is the moment that good Samaritans of my type are looking forward to shaking your hands, and bring a new color on your life... simply tell us about it.

Right now is not the moment for you to turn on lights into your dark life. Right now is the time to get over these suicide thoughts that make you feel or look miserable. Turn the light of life on by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 to make yourself heard, understood, and revivified. Right now is the moment for you to go beyond the minimal, and the nihilism to be hopeful, happy and inspired. Start living happy by opening a new page of your life-book that includes Him, me and you. Whoever trust in Him will find joy, inspiration, resistance, and happiness forever.

Wake up, and look back in a mirror. If you don’t have one, find a clear water fountain, and start staring at it. Whoever you are seeing in front of you is wonderful, worth living, loved by a handful, and blessed by Him. Then open your eyes, look up the cross, and contemplate it for a while. Wipe out your tears, get over the past, listen to the voice of your soul, find yourself a pencil and piece of paper if you have no internet, and write down what hurts you. Shred it, and say your inspirational prayer that will finish by repeating “I am better than this”, seven times louder. Whoever you are, wherever you find yourself now, know that “You Are Loved, and Able of Anything". Wake Up!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
