Hey,

I know things get rough sometimes.

I don't know what you have been facing, and I probably never will. But what I do know is that I have been there.

Been to the place where you feel like your world is crashing down on you. Like the walls of every room you are in are crumbling down around you. Like a storm no one knew was coming has swept you up and swallowed you whole.

Whether you are struggling with some family problems, losing weight or always fighting with your significant other, things seem very dark and gloomy right now. You could be overwhelmed with stress from school, pressure form work, or even pressure from your peers. There could be so many things that have you wanting to quit right now.

I know how it feels.

Like you can't do anything right.

Like you don't deserve to be happy.

Like no one could love someone like you.

You feel like a failure. An outcast. Like you could die today and no one would even notice you are gone.

Well, I have something to tell you, a secret of sorts.

You will be missed. By those who notice how hard you are working and how much you are struggling. You may not know that they see you, but they do.

Keep your head up and keep marching on. Don't listen to what anyone says unless it is positive, but never forget where you came from either. It will still be hard as you keep going, but here are a few quotes to keep you motivated.

I hope you don't give up because I want to see you succeed, I don't know you, but know this...I love you, and I believe in you.

So.

To the girl who is crying herself to sleep at night because she doesn't think she can take the pressure to be perfect, or get straight A's, or the amount of work she is buried under.

To the girl, who looks in the mirror and sees every flaw she thinks she has in the mirror tenfold and sobs into her hands, and doesn't think she can do it anymore.

To the girl, who wants to run away from her family, her friends, and everyone else in the world.

and

To the girl, who feels like giving up for any reason at all.

Don't give up. Things will get better. it may not be tomorrow and it may not be as fast as you want it to, but it will. This I promise you!

It won't be easy to keep forging on. Just remember, if it gets worse, that is OK. It's OK to feel like giving up as long as you don't actually give up.

Waiting is easier than regretting the mistakes you made or the things you didn't finish. Keep going.

Hope is a fan of yours, cheering you on from all around and holding you close when you're down. Listen to hope when it whispers to you.
