Hey. You probably don't know who I am, or what I do. I'm probably just another stranger floating around. But please, know this: you aren't alone. You never will be. I've struggled with stuff too.  Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia. I know what it's like, to want to never get up again. To go to sleep wishing you won't wake up. Being terrified of going anywhere. Splitting your own skin and watching crimson spill. Feeling alone, with nothing but darkness surrounding you. Not knowing what's real and what isn't. Hating to talk, wanting to just vanish away. I've been there too. I have scars as well. But please, ending it all won't do anything. For the longest time, there was 1 thing stopping me from killing myself.

A quote. It was this:

"The sad thing about suicide is that it doesn't take the pain away, it just passes it onto someone else."

So please friend, come talk to me. If you kill yourself, the sun may still shine, the world may still spin, the stars and moon may still come out, but without you, it all means nothing. Why would I care that the world continues to move if you were gone? I wouldn't. I'd be mourning you, wishing there was something I could've done. Wishing you were still here.

So please, friend. Don't do it. I'm here for you, whenever you need it. Even if it's just a friendly hello, or some small chitchat. You aren't alone. You never will be. Because I'm here, and out in the world there are many others who are here for you as well. I know it doesn't feel like it, but there is a light in the darkness. The storm doesn't last forever. Please, even if you're just barely hanging on, hang in there. It would mean the world to me, and many others. So please. Please stay. I'm here for you. Forever and always.

❤️ Grace ❤️
