It's hard to accept yourself and get over problems.

I found someone who had the same problems I was facing, or so I thought.

Turns out they're still fighting it, and it can hurt.

I look up to someone who I thought had gotten over it, it helped me feel better about my problems.

I thought I could find out what they did and get better.

I thought I could be like them, happy, not worrying about that problem.

I looked up to them for their strength and perseverance.

I thought I could be like them one day.

And now it's all gone.

I could lose hope.

I could let it consume my thoughts.

I could just give up.

But then I remember.

I'm not alone.

They can help me, and maybe just one day.

Even if it's in the littlest way.

I can help them too.

I can be that person for someone else.

You. can be a hero

You. can be brave

You. can be smart.

You. can make it.

Because someone, no, not just one.

People believe in you.

So don't let those harsh words stop you.

Don't let anyone tell you, you're not good enough.

Don't tell yourself you aren't good enough.

Because you are.

You matter.

You mean something.

You're worth it.

I think you're worth it.

I know you can do it.

Don't be afraid to reach your dreams.

I want you to be happy.

I want you to succeed.

I want you to love yourself.

Mark, Jack, myself, and so many more people believe you can.

So please.

Smile.

Laugh.

Have fun.

Be happy.

Forget those who hurt you.

Find those that make you happy.

One final thing before I go.

I want you to know.

I meant every word.
