It's just another day for you. Just another day waking up and feeling empty, getting ready for another day of what you're convinced is hell. You're locked up by what other people say and think, you're beginning to believe that you're defined by them.
You walk through the hallways and see the "see something, say something" signs and do nothing but roll your eyes as your peers see everything, yet you still feel completely helpless.
You scroll through text messages, screenshots, maybe even social media posts with you as the laughing stock. You think they're entertained by your weaknesses and flaws.
Everything is piling up on top of each other, one by one, it never seems to end and the hope is being drained out of you by the second. You feel as you're about to explode, you can't take it anymore.
Here's one thing for certain.
This is temporary. It is a season in which you feel that nothing is blooming. But right around the corner is spring and you are about to beautifully blossom.
People may try to knock you off your feet, change who you are and who you will become. They will never get in the way of the Lord's plan for you, that is for sure. But when they try to stomp you down, instead, put your roots down, grow, and bloom. For your beauty, your worth and how loved you are will never change. You don't have to give up. You can do this.
Please call the suicide prevention lifeline if you need help. It is free and there to help you through it.
"There is a time for everything, a time to every purpose under the heaven...He has made everything beautiful in its time." - Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
