Whatever you may going through right now remember that you are not alone. Whether it be a breakup, struggling with school, or even depression. Trust me, I have been in that dark place where I never felt good enough for anyone even when I was doing everything in my power to do my best. I know how it feels to not be wanted, needed or loved. I know it's hard to act happy and put on a fake smile when you feel like you're dying inside. For me to have to go and be the funny and outgoing friend when all I want to do is lay in bed and be mad at the world is so fucking hard. But I do it. I do it because I know I'm not the only one going through something. I have to strong for those around me. I have to be strong for my family. My sister has been through the ringer these past few years. I have to and want to be strong for her and be there for her. I have to be strong for my mom and dad. I have to be the stable daughter and friend and it sucks because I'm not. But knowing that I have such a strong support system around me helps more than you know.

What I'm trying to say is that even though you may feel all alone, you're not you just aren't. Your family is there for you. Your friends are there for you and if they aren't then they aren't your friend. Surrounding yourself with loving people is key. There are somedays where I completely break down and shut the world out. And that's okay. It is okay to let yourself cry. But you have to get back up and come back at life harder. I know it sounds hard but trust me it is worth. Know that you are loved, wanted, needed and cherished by so many people.
