friends.



"My love. In the grand scheme of things, if we magnify what the world is, there are 4 billion people on this earth. If we were to write a list of allllllll the people that are living and breathing on the earth,  we have a long list. But that name is just made up of letters, right? The same letters I'm using to type this out. But those combination of letters represent life. A human beings life. It does not reflect anything about them but that they exist and think and breathe.  But that we know by seeking them. We don't see the underlying feelings or thoughts until we know them. Every name on that list is happy and sad and feels pain and struggles immensely, more than we'll ever know. They are worthy of those thoughts and feelings, even though on this piece of paper they are just another name. But they cry. They hurt. They struggle. They breathe. The fact that 3,999,999,999 other people also feel pain and grief and suffering doesn't lessen the world's suffering.  There are 4 billion hearts beating, but that doesn't mean yours is not important. If does not mean that you are not worthy. Because if we minimize ourselves as one person with a problem, you disregard that we are ALL people and we ALL have problems and that's okay!!! We're allowed to live and be upset by stupid things or by the bigger things. You're allowed to. And we all get through, many times not unscathed.  

What you are dealing with is not your fault. It has never been your fault. Mental health is the same as physical health. We get sick physically with a cough because of a virus, just as we get sick with the chemicals in our mind being askew. That's not your fault. And what we all work through with our issues is finding that we are worthy or working towards the healthy. And it's a fucking tough fight babe. And we're bound to fall and scrape our knees on the way. But don't let those small cuts and bruises become scars, let them be battle wounds.

I've seen you show strength and agility and fight, and I know that right now is just lost but it can and it will be found. And I believe that if you take one step at a time and work as hard and as much as you can, it's going to be okay. And some days it'll be just a centimeter and some days a kilometer, you'll be okay. Allow yourself to have both days and to make mistakes but to get right back up and fight." 

- My best friend has the most incredible soul. I needed to share her  beautiful words to me with more people, she is just so wonderful and I adore her with every fibre of my being.
