"If you think suicide is selfish, you've never been suicidal"

Suicide.

Suicide is a word that makes your mouth go dry. Immediately sends chills up your spine. Every time you hear that word, the room gets quiet. When you hear suicide it immediately makes you sad, because you know that someone is hurting. Someone felt so unhappy with their situation, that they ended their life.

One thing suicide doesn’t do is allow your life to get better. Now this is not an article telling you why you’re selfish if you stop having the power to live, because I understand that more than you know. You get tired of fighting every single day of your life.

Remember life does get better. Maybe not tomorrow, or next week, but one day it will. All the struggle you went through will be worth it, and you will be glad that you lived. Never ever let someone make you feel worthless. You are worth more than what a bully says.

Depression makes people feel helpless, lonely, and completely hopeless. Treating something as serious as suicide as if it’s nothing, only makes it worse. In most cases, it can be prevented just by just listening to them.. All anyone wants is to know that they are appreciated and loved.

I know exactly what it feels like. To want to end it. To sit on the bathroom floor, too sad to even cry. Body numb, too numb to feel anything at all. Sometimes you just have to pick yourself off the floor, and fight. Fight like hell to save your own life. Because that is only who can save you.

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.
