You Are Not Alone

Suicide is never an option and there are others out there willing to talk and help.

When people think of suicide there first thought is: "why?"

Then after why they think to themselves and say that: "that person must have been so screwed up because they ended their life."

People think negatively of suicide and don't understand the real concern for it. People don't become suicidal just instantly. Things build up and finally that person has been brought to their breaking point and all they can think of is leaving this world because it's there only option. Well it's not the only option. Through experience I have learned that suicide is not the only option. Taking yourself out of this world won't help solve your problems. It will create more disruption within that person's life and will cause more harm and hurt to the people they love and care about when they commit suicide. Suicide is not the only option or the last resort. Things will and can get better and people have shown that. But to all the people who don't see that and all they want to do is give up I tell you please don't and consider the other options. Think about all the hurt you will cause. Yes there are people out there who put people down who have suicidal thoughts and that's because they don't understand what people with those thoughts go through. But that doesn't stop people from doing anything. People still recover and get better and lose those thoughts especially when they consider other options. So to those who have thoughts about suicide, there are more options than taking your life. There are other people out there willing to help you and willing to make everything better for you. Suicide is not an option.

If you need help please call The National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255. Talk to an adult, someone who cares about you and your interests. There is help and you are not alone! Visit this website for more info. https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

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.
