I am twenty-two years old, and I still contemplate taking my life. But I no longer think of it being easy, and I no longer think of it as pain-free because it is the most traumatic act a person can do to themselves and to those around them.

you have now impacted their life in the most negative way. I will never tell someone not to take their life, but I will tell them reasons to stay alive.

The grass is green if you water it, and the sky is even brighter when you take your sunglasses off.

If you are looking for a sign, look in a mirror. If you are looking for a sign, look in your parents’ eyes. If you are looking for a sign, tell your best friend. Just the thought of you taking your life will crush them.

every single thing you go through makes you stronger for tomorrow. It will get easier as it gets harder, and you will be okay.
