For the depressed.

Why's there no 'miscellaneous' option? This isn't a story it's a whole lot of random stuff and encouragement for you on a bad day.

Find your pulse. I'm serious, do it, right now. Don't keep reading until you've found it, it doesn't matter if it's in your wrist or neck or what, just find it.
You found it now?
Listen to it.
Thud-thud. Thud-thud.
That's your heart. It's still beating.
Do you know what that means?
It means you're still alive. It means that the bad in your life hasn't won yet, you're still okay.
It means you're going to be okay.
***********

You may not be able to see your own beauty or love yourself but one day, someone will. You have only lived such a small part of yourself, you will never know what the future brings. So, keep going. Hold on. You are never alone. ♥

***********

You are not a burden.

You are not a bother.

You enhance the lives of others.

People smile, not groan, when you text them.

Your voice.

Your presence.

You, matter.

***********

Sometimes you end up never speaking to someone who meant the world to you again. And that’s okay. You cope and you survive. Don’t let your losses keep you back from new gains.

***********

If you ever see a bad picture of yourself just think about sunsets.

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a sunset with a crappy camera? It turns out like sh*t.  I mean that could be the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen in your life and the photo looks gross. That doesn’t mean the sunset isn’t breathtaking, it just means the camera can’t contain it’s beauty.

You are a gorgeous motherf*cking sunset never forget that

***********

here’s your daily reminder that

• you aren’t worthless
• you’re worth more than you think you are
• you mean a lot to someone
• you’ve done something to make someone laugh or smile
• you’ve laughed and smiled
• you’re good enough
• you deserve to be happy
• you’re allowed to be sad
• you’re you and nothing can change that
• and there’s no one else you need to be

This is for anyone who feels a little lost right now. Maybe you don’t know what your path in life is yet. Maybe you hate your job. Maybe you’re still in school and you’ve changed your major three times. Maybe you’re confused about what it is that you want. Mmaybe you know exactly what you want but have no idea how to get it.
You will figure it out. You are not dead yet. You are going to figure your sh*t out. I believe in you.

Dear person reading this,
You made it through another year. You made it through the hard times and pain. You made it through all the times when you all you wanted to do was give up. You made it. You made it another year and I promise you can make it another year. I am SO proud of you.

DON'T END YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF SOME A-HOLES

YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH

***********
The best project you'll ever work on is you.
***********

The worst that can happen is they say no. The best that can happen is they say yes. Maybe not the first time, maybe not the second, fifth or tenth. But maybe on the eleventh.

You know that one person in your life? Everyone has them. Maybe a teacher or coworker or boss. That one person that whenever you look at them your stomach literally turns to jelly and you literally start shaking... and you feel physically ill and you don't even look them in the eye and it feels like Judgement Day and you can't even speak to them even to tell them about a problem or to ask for help
because you are
SO SCARED.
Tell the coworker's boss. Tell the teacher's head of department. Tell a coworker. Get the message through somehow. Because if you don't, nothing will change.
If you change nothing, nothing will change.
DO SOMETHING INTELLIGENT WITH YOUR LIFE
**********
If you always try to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

The greatest mistake is going through life fearing you will make one.

We're all human. We all love, lose, laugh, have our up days and down days, have our problems, have our limits. The only limit we don't have is on our soul, our creativity, our awesomeness. Even that annoying person you have to put up with every day at work or school, we all have one of those.
We're all human. That means you too.

**********

You are good enough. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
