I know how hard it is to fight, but just hold on a little longer. Your “someone” is right around the corner.
I spent my entire life believing that I would not make it. I continuously believed that my life would end by suicide. After more than 15 suicide attempts, I questioned why God kept me alive despite being near death several times. I felt so much anger at him for having me endure so much pain in the first place and then bringing me more pain by keeping me alive when I wanted to die. I never understood why but now I do and I am thankful for life and for you.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I used to be so angry when people said this to me, but now I understand it. Yes, the problems we face never feel temporary but I promise you that they are. Nothing lasts forever—not happiness and especially not pain. You have survived over and over again and you will continue to survive. You are extremely capable of overcoming. I see your strength and all the work you put in everyday. I am so proud of how far you have come. Keep going because one day it will all be worth it. Baby steps will take us to our destination. Do not give up now or ever!
Now that I can look back and see why I am still here, I can promise you that one day you will be able to too. I never thought I would see this day, but now I am here to tell you that this day is coming for you too. For now, I can believe for the both of us. Hold on just a little longer, because you are worth fighting for!
