How are you? Today I have a more serious letter for you today-
"*gasp* Atira can be serious?!?!" Indeed I can and I shall prove it to you today. Now it's story time...
The other day on Instagram a fan account commented on one of Ariana Grande's photo saying how they were going to end it all. I didn't quite understand what the person (who I later learned was a girl) meant by end it all so of course due to my curiosity I went onto her page. There was a photo there basically where she explained many things that I know a lot of people my age and just anyone in general feel on a day to day basis. She said how she was tired of being invisible to her friends and family and how she was through with feeling as though she meant nothing to the world. She made the post as what I understand to be a final goodbye to her friends.
Nearly one hundred people including myself commented on this photo trying to convince this girl (who cannot be named for both privacy and because I can't find her page, I just suck) that suicide was not the option. And it's not, which is what this letter is about.
We have all either felt or are feeling the things that this girl is feeling. We've felt as if we didn't matter, like we didn't exist, like we were just pointless beings on this Earth but that is no way true.
Whatever you believe in you, we were all put onto this Earth for a reason. We may not have found it yet and our paths may seem rough but nothing lasts. I'll honest, Shit Happens! But a permanent solution like suicide is not the answer to a temporary problem. We all mess up, we all go through absolutely horrible things that you could never possibly imagine, but we get through it! We may not get through it immediately but eventually things will get better.
There has to be some rain before you see the rainbow. It's just the storm before the calm.
I know this letter may seem sudden and random but this is something that needs to be addressed. Spetember 8-14 is National Suicide Prevention Week and this is the perfect time to speak about this.
If there are any of you out there right now reading this, and you feel like there is no other option but suicide, You're Wrong!
I'm not going to say that you need to talk to a trusted adult or anything like that (though I really really do urge that you do) because I know that it could be hard. Especially for those of us who do have anxiety, it is hard. But please please do talk to someone.
I want you, yes YOU, all of the yous, to know that I am here for you. Yes I may seem like a stranger but nobody deserves to feel like they don't belong here. Everybody has a right to live on this Earth and there should be nothing to stop them from that.
If you randomly stumbled upon this post my name is Atira, and I want you all to know that you can talk to me. I want to be here for you and I will always be here for you. If you ever feel like you need somebody to talk to or someone who understands please come to me. You can always send me an email, you can always find me on Tumblr and Instagram. I am always here and can always answer you, talk to you, hell I'd even Skype you if I have to. I will do do absolutely anything, to make sure that you are okay and I will do anything to help you.
