You're sitting there with a feeling of nothing, wondering if life is worth it anymore. Well, it is. You matter, you will always matter, and nothing will take that away from you. When you're sitting there and contemplating it it’s worth it, think of these things:
1. Who has been there for you?
The list may be small, but those who have been there for you are the ones worth staying for. So what if it's only your parents and one close friend? Imagine how it would affect them to lose someone who has meant the world to them.
2. Think about what has kept you here.
There has to be something that has kept you here for as long as you have been. If there wasn't, you wouldn't be reading this. If you ever have one second of doubt, remember what has kept you here.
3. Find a new band.
Sometimes it's hard to talk to someone about how you're feeling, but sometimes a band can help you through whatever you're going through. Sometimes putting on sad jams and pretending that there are no responsibilities is all you need to feel better.
4. Talk to someone you trust.
This is something everyone says to do, but it really does help. Sometimes just texting someone “hey can we meet up” is all you need. You don't have to say much, but sometimes having someone there is all you need. The presence of someone helps you calm down and remember that it's all going to be OK.
No matter what, you do matter. Your presence will be missed wherever you are not. Keep calm, push through it and it will all get better, no matter how hard you think it is.
