I can't save everybody. but if I can talk down even one person tonight, it will be meaningful to at least that one person. because that's one more life saved.

so, just know, if any of you are reading this and feel like giving up, or dying, or killing yourselves, or being killed.... if any of you think you don't matter, or won't be missed, or that the world will be better off without you.... if any of you think that there's no hope, or that you are doomed to failure.... just know that I care. you do matter. you can be happy again. you will be missed. the world won't be better off without you. it's ok.

I know how it feels, really. I promise. I can't tell you how many times a day I think about killing myself. I can;t even pay attention to how many times I have to fight the urge. and let me tell you, it's nothing to be ashamed of. you aren't weak, whether you do or don't kill yourself. and even if you are weak, that doesn't mean you aren't also strong. you can be weak and strong at the same time. and there's nothing wrong with that.

I won't tell you you have to stay alive. I won't tell you not to kill yourself. but I want you to know, you don't have to. it's ok, you can live.
