Dear everyone who thinks they are alone,
Dear everyone who feels they are depressed,
Dear anyone who wants to harm themselves in any way,
And anyone else who feels they need help,

Please read what I have to say.

I know what is like to feel depressed. I have been where you have been, and, trust me, I know how horrible it feels.

I know that sometimes talking to people about your problems isn't easy, and it can feel so frustrating when you are constantly told to "talk to someone you trust" or "smile. Everything will be ok in the end."

It's very easy for people who haven't experienced such emotions to say things like that. They say "talk to people" like it is the easiest thing in the world, but you and I both know that isn't quite true.

It can be hard to put things into words, especially when you are afraid of what the outcome will be, and for a long time, I found myself incapable of speaking out because I was afraid of involving my friends, showing my weak side and being judged. However, when I did finally decide to talk to my friend, I found that it was the best decision I have ever made.

It can be hard to talk and it takes an awful lot of bravery to finally speak out, but when you do, don't feel ashamed or regretful - you are so strong to even make it that far, and the person you talk to will understand that.

I guess that is another thing - many people suffering from mental pain are easily trapped into the idea that they are alone, but let me tell you now - you are not alone.

Your life touches so many others around you even if it doesn't seem like it. If you are blessed enough to have parents, they treasure you more than they treasure themselves even if you can't imagine that right now. If you have siblings, you impact their lives in so many positive ways, and they secretly love and cherish you even if they would rather not say it to your face. If not your family, then turn to your friends! You are so special to them they would do anything for you!

And of course, you have me! I will always be here for y'all to talk to me if you are ever needing a friend!

I am not writing this to tell you that everything is going to be ok. When I was going through a tough time, that was all people ever said and it just made it worse. You may not be ok right now, and it is no help when people constantly tell you that you are just fine.

The reason I am writing this is to tell you that you have the strength to make things ok if you choose to use it. The reason I am writing this is to tell you that things may look dark now, but you can change that! You are stronger than you could ever imagine, and your heart knows it even if your mind doesn't. Things may not be ok, but it doesn't mean that they have to stay like that!

My life motto is:
"No rain, no flowers"

That may sound cringey, but the message is that there can't be any good times (flowers) without the bad times (rain).

When this rain passes, you will appreciate the good times all the more, and your life will become amazing <3

Please don't hesitate to message me if you want to talk. I will always be there and I am ready to listen to you if you need me. I will be your umbrella if you feel like there is going to be a storm! 

Stay strong my lovely readers, and remember that you are never alone.

Love yourself! You are beautiful!
