A letter to one who contemplates suicide

You're never alone

A letter to one who contemplates suicide

Feel like nothing's getting better? Has the thought of you taking your last breath and permanently removing yourself off this beautiful planet come across your mind? If so, keep reading.

You're really sad, depressed even. On top of the depression you have anxiety attacks and tend to be bi-polar. Something happened. Something made you feel this way. But what do you make the people who love and care about you feel? You're not just taking away your life. Your taking away from them, in fact you're killing them along with you.

So you kill yourself and your dead. You think that resolves your problems and is the better choice but it isn't. What about your mom. You are a part of your mom. She'll be sad. She'll cry. She won't want to eat, sleep or even talk to anyone else. She'll be numb, and silent always. And your dad can't even comfort her because she blames herself for what you have done. Then your father. Your father is so upset, his little baby is gone. Forever. The last thing he said to you replays in his mind over and over again while he is at the office making money to support himself, your mother and your siblings. Oh yeah your siblings. You were the oldest. They looked up to you. The hero. The one to help make the bad dreams go away. The ones who would bother you while you were trying to be on the phone with your best friend. Best friend. You killed them too. You took away the person they would laugh with, hang out with and just sit in silence with. You took away half of them. The half that completed them. You killed a half of them that they will never get back.

While permanently taking your life may sound like the best option you have. It isn't, you need to think about your loved ones. If you're depressed speak out, it may not be easy but it's possible.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
