“Don’t lose to your own mind. It’s devious and corrupted. Hear the cheers from those who love you. Those who surround you with praises of your minor victories and biggest accomplishments. Appreciate them every day. Don’t hold petty grudges. Don’t find excuses for your mind to weave cruel narratives that project lies. Don’t absorb the abuse your mind screams. Better yourself from it. Your greatest nemesis is your greatest motivator. Prove yourself wrong. Dream your dreams and chase them.”

You’re worth a lot more than the people who made you think you had no value.

“Alcoholic remedies, comatose melodies, medicine in the form of liquor. Catastrophic memories, antidote recipes, medicine in the form of mixers. This is not how the teens should be.”

“Will you notice me through my arts and my creativity? Will you know it’s me at the start of my poetry? Dozens of questions swarm my mind as I seek purpose desperate to find reasoning for my existence. I’ll always remind myself, and you, that life’s worth living and undoubtably that’s true. No matter how blue the days may be, we have a whole spectrum of colours ahead of us. A beautiful world waiting to be viewed by an equally beautiful human, like you.”

“Happiness requires a difficult change in perspective, but not an impossible one. The potential for happiness and fulfilment is within everyone. Even you. Don’t ever doubt yourself.”

“I’m going to keep fighting cause I want to live. Don’t think my friends want to see me give up, but I can’t sleep right cause I am depressed. Everything in life has got me stressed. But there are some days I feel the sun, but then I cry in bed when the day is done cause days like this don’t happen all the time and it’ll be another year until I feel this fine. I don’t take meds cause I don’t trust pills, I’d take too many then my guts would spill but I’d come back to them to get my fill and then they’d finish me off with a final kill. I know when I’m dead so many would mourn. No more mornings, no more songs are born. They say there’s a new day every dawn but I’m nocturnal and my scars have torn.”

“Take me far away from this city that I hate.”

“In a world of sadness that’s deprived of peaceful minds, my biggest fear isn’t spiders, snakes or pain: I’m scared of raising a child who may never become an adult.”
