So this is going to be long, but worth the read... My entire life I've had to deal with harrassment in many forms, from emotional, to verbal, to physical, to sexual, and so on. Though I'd never wish it on anyone, I can honestly say what I've endured has made me a stronger person, and I wouldn't change who I am today. However, I wasn't always this way. I was that girl who seemed okay out in the world, but was a wreck behind closed doors. Which is why I'm writing this in hope that it at least helps one person. I suffer from insomnia, depression, anxiety, and panic disorder, and have recovered from an eating disoder and self harm. I'm not claiming to be this wise role model, as I'm only eighteen, and still have so much to learn, but I do think what I have to say can help people. So believe it from someone who has lived it. Things DO get better, and it is truly okay to reach out for help. The people that harrass you have their own problems that they need to solve, and are often jealous of you for one reason or another. I'm sad to say that there will always be people who want to see you fail. It is up to you to not let them win. Focusing on yourself and your goals can lead to such great things! At one point I wanted to give up on life, but I'm so glad I didn't because I wouldn't have been able to see myself graduate highschool and move closer to my dreams! So please, never give up, because the Universe has a plan for you, and you will be amazed by the things you accomplish in the future. Looking back I know fourteen year old me would never had believed I am where I am today, and would have laughed reading this saying "It won't get better for me..". I am living proof that darkness always leads to light, just as one day you will be. π #quote #jealousy #happy #inspiration #inspire #aspire #depression #anxiety #panicattack #insomnia #eatingdisorder #suicide #suicideawareness #love #hope #mystory #harrassment #love #lovelife #life #selfharm #tumblr #LGBTQ #teen #teens #acceptance #friendship #family #lovedones #help #friends
