#WorldwideSuicidePreventionDay





So, since today is Worldwide Suicide Prevention day I'm going to go a little...."deep."

Everyone on Earth has either killed themselves or thought about it or even attempted to do it but failed. And I am one of the ones who attempted at least 4x in the past I hate to admit but it's sadly

true! I use to do it ALL the time whenever I felt sad, emotional, and/or "stressed/frustrated" but as far as I can remember I don't think that I've ever done it again since maybe the 9th grade....?! So yeah that's some sort of accomplishment! >.<

We need stuff like that to STOP! FOREVER! We can't have such beautiful, talented, and amazing people such as us all ending our lives without having the chance to live it fully and do what can possibly be the BEST things EVER!

Here are some sad, yet unfortunate NOT SO "fun" facts about suicide. Do not read if they make you feel uneasy/sad

We ALL as humans can stop innocent, loved people from dying off too soon and get them to feel better! As a planet we can change the world and the hearts & minds of the whole world and those who live within it. Suicide is stoppable if we all try! People who die by their own hand(s) is tragic and horrible especially since they may never be able to do what it is that they were all born and made to do! You are BRAVE! You are LOVED! You are IMPORTANT! You are NEEDED! And you deserve to know & understand that and how it's the truth! 

Nobody deserves to be dragged like dirt and forced through everyday pain! Just keep your head up, smile, laugh, and make new friends and make others feel the same way because you never know that they may themselves may be in their own kind of emotional pain and need friends the most. If it hurts, hug someone or something and don't be afraid to cry and/or scream! It's a good way to let off some of the stress & frustration that's clouding your mind/emotions. Be loud, proud, and strong!
YOU MATTER TO EVERYONE! Live happy, and live strong everyone!
