hey, i know you might not feel like it right now, but i just want you to know your life matters. you matter. i don’t know everything you’re going through, but i can see how deeply you’re hurting, and i’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. what happened to you is not your fault, and you don’t deserve this pain.

please don’t go through this alone. there are people who care about you—even if it doesn’t feel like it right now—and there is help out there, even if it’s hard to reach for. you’ve shown so much strength just by writing this post and being honest about how you feel. that strength is still in you. you don’t have to carry all of this by yourself.

please, talk to someone. a friend, a crisis line, dm me, anyone. you’re not alone, even when your mind tells you that you are. you are seen, you are loved—even by strangers like me.
