I’m here to tell you guys, it gets easier. If you look at my posts a year and a half ago I was on here pleading for help hoping somehow my parents could see what I was venting you all of you fellow friends who understand what it’s like to be in such a dark place. It gets easier. Things do get better. Although I do know when I was in your position, it felt as if no matter what I read, how happy people pleaded with me to be, I was lost and all I could see was a large dark cloud infront of me and around me. You are so loved. You are so cared for. People would be lost without your presence no matter what you feel or what anyone says. What i learned to help me, was that it doesn’t matter what happens in life or to you. What does not kill you, will only make you stronger. Mentally speaking. You are special, you are unique. We are all born with potential to be destined for greatness and you must realize your self worth even if others can’t. If you have 100 reasons to commit suicide, I’m here to tell you that you only need one reason to keep pushing. If you can wake up each day, and think of at least one good thing that’s ever happened to you, the happy memories, you can push on. You can keep living. You don’t understand how special you really are until you think of things in the grand scheme. We are so lucky to be here on this beautiful planet, with beautiful people breathing in air each day. It is a tragedy to see you amazing souls end your happiness short because things block your path of greatness. I used to cry in my room against my door with cups of bleach to my lips, balling my eyes out, feeling like such a waste of space because I didn’t even have the courage or ‘guts’ to end my life and make the world a better place… Or so I thought. However, I was so wrong. Everyone of us will have an impact on at least one person in life. I believe we are meant to inspire others so they can shine. You truly want to know what got me out of my rut? One day I was lying on my couch, skipping school, crying all morning because I felt as if I was so alone in this world.. A movie came on my television, coach carter, now I know you all think this is just bullshit I’m speaking but I am being so honest from my heart deep down because you all have so much talent and desire inside of you to live. We live once. Just once. Anyhow, there was a small poem that Timo gave to coach carter in this movie.. He said and I quote, “We were all meant to shine, as children do.
It’s not just in us, it’s in everyone,
We unconsciously give other people
Permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fears;
Our presence automatically liberates others.”
I want you all to know that as a senior in high school, I am living proof that you can overcome any circumstance, death in a family, tragedy, anything. You never realize how strong you are until you’ve hit rock bottom and you can overcome that. I want you all to know who are reading this, pleading for help inside, that I am here. I don’t care if you don’t think I can understand your situation or help. I can. I want to do good, there is no point to life unless you are making someone elses life better. You are all perfect and beautiful deep down. I want you all to know that if there is anything, ever, that you ever need. You message me. I may be 1 mile, 100 miles, or 1000 miles, but I am here, I am here to help you overcome anything in life and give you the extra push that you can’t grab because your vision is fogged. I want you to know if you’ve read this to this point, you have something you are still holding onto. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are all meant to live our life no matter what others think, no matter if it brings others happiness, all that matters is your happiness. I love you all and I don’t even know you, but if there is one thing I have realized since my downfall, it’s that I have the power to encourage others with my words. I will give all of my heart to you guys because you deserve it and a sacrificed life is a wasted life.
I love you guys.

Gosh, that’s a beautiful quote. I’m saving it. Beautiful post as well. Thanks, Logan. 🙂 I can’t think of much to say right now, but you have my gratitude.
Glad things got so much better for you. Thanks for leaving such an encouraging post for others.
Thank you. That was nice.
Why would this be your last post? As I understand it, SP is as much for people backing away from suicide as for those that are limping to it.
Glad you found what you needed to push through, really enjoyed reading your post. If you never come back, good luck, and if you do comeback, good luck too 🙂
Thank you, I know this is an old post but at one time I read it and didn’t have it in me to even reply…I found it again today and it amazes me how those like us who suffer so badly have such beautiful unique minds. Your words are so touching and so very appreciated. You are a beautiful soul…and I hope happiness has found you.
Much love,
Britt
