Hello beautiful person,


This was really interesting for me to learn about, I honestly didn't know the state I live in had that many suicides in 2007, like wow!



but anyway If your suicide for whatever reason I am sorry, It's hard to feel so worthless and bad about yourself to the extent that you wanna die, I've been in that spot and I'm not gonna say it's going to be okay because i know you don't wanna hear that, but try to stay on the bright side, without darkness you wouldn't be able to see the light. I was bullied for a long time and I felt like I was worthless, I was told i should kill meyself, I tried to stay strong but it was really hard than self harm was my only friend... I'm recovering from self harm, and I'll probably be recovering the rest of my life there's always temptations but rigth now I'm doing a lot better than I was and I want you to be able to live to see betters days. I know i don't personally know you but I care about you, you are an amazing person,a strong person, you deserve to live, your beautiful, your perfect the way you are, and if others can't see that they aren't worth your time.. beautiful person those people who put you don't aren't worth your tears, and your arms, legs, and belly, and they definitely aren't worth your life. I hope this helped.



sincerely, someone who cares and loves you
