You are so strong and so loved. Don't give up, better days are ahead.
You are not alone.
There is still time to be the person you needed when you were a kid.
Emotions are like weather sometimes: sunny, stormy and overwhelmingly cold. Like winter in Denver, CO, the sunshine always shines through. Don't give up.
One day at a time, keep moving forward.

You are loved and needed on this earth!
You will always matter to those who love you.
Darkness and sorrow can be overwhelming, but know that even after the darkest, longest night, there is a dawn that brings growth, hope, change, opportunity, and untapped potential. Who knows what lies on the other side of that door; you'll only know if you don't close it and step through to the other side.
You have options!
You are amazing, unique and the world is a better place with you!
Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start and make a brand-new ending.
I think it's brave that you get up in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones ache for a rest.
I think it's brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day and you decide to fight.
I know there are days when you feel like giving up but I think it's brave that you never do.
This too shall pass. Keep fighting and remember you are LOVED!
Honesty over perfection
