Dear followers,

life can be difficult. I know that perfectly well. I know how much it can hurt to breathe. I know how it is, when suicidal feelings overcome you, and you just want to jump off a bridge or in front of a car. Take too many pills or do something else to stop the world from spinning around you.

I know that sometimes everything just goes wrong. People leave you, they hurt you. Wrong words are spoken at the wrong time. Tears start streaming down your face, and you just feel lonely and tired.

I know that it hurts. Sometimes less than other times. Sometimes it just hurts too much, and you feel like there is no way out of this kind of life. And then there are those voices inside of your head telling you lies that make everything worse. (“No one cares. No one loves you.“ ”You’re fat and ugly.” “You’re weak. You can’t do anything right.“ ”Just kill yourself.”)

It’s not easy. I know that. It’s not easy for anyone of us to survive. But you know what? 

I believe in you. It may not mean much to you, but it is the way it is. When I look at you (your blogs) and read about what you’ve been through, I can ‘feel’ your pain and your sorrows, and I wish that I could take it all away, because no one deserves to suffer in these kinds of ways. But I can’t. I can only tell you this:

You - my dears - are beautiful and strong. Regardless of what anyone has ever told you. Regardless of what your inner voices whisper to you. You are good enough. You’re fine the way you are. And I hope that all of you will be able to find their way. That one day your lives will be filled with love and laughter and happiness.

Please try to stay strong. Try your best to fight off your demons. And if you ever need someone, remember that I’m always here for you. 

Take care.

Lots of love,
