I think the reason why there are so many suicidal people in today’s society is because we have all become so OBSESSED with this ridiculous idea of being someone we’re not. We try so hard every single day to say the right thing or look the right way or do the right things, but who says what’s right and what’s wrong? The whole purpose of your life is to live it how YOU want. You shouldn’t have to wake up every day worrying about what to say and how to look and who to be. You should wake up and be excited to show the world who you are.


People get so stressed out about these unnecessary things that they turn to self-harm and suicidal thoughts/attempts/success. Doing these things turns them away from all the beautiful things in life. Their whole life is being thrown away by trying to fit in and they don’t even realize it until it’s too late.


We all have to STOP trying to impress OTHERS and START trying to impress OURSELVES. Don’t sit there and tell yourself that you’re not loved and no one wants you on this earth. You have NO idea how loved you are. Even if you don’t see it now, you will. Some day, someone will come along and they will love every single thing about you. They will love the way you talk, the way you laugh, the way you smile. They will love you. I know this all sounds like some big cliché but I honestly don’t care. You were obviously put on this earth for a reason. You are here to make your mark. So go out there and make it.

I messed up a bit. This was not meant to go under memoir, I clicked the wrong tab. My apologies ahead of time.
