please give me a reason to live
all the beautiful colours of the skies - pink, gold, blue, orange, sometimes all at once
new films and your favourite actors and actresses
new songs from your favourite artists
new seasons of your favourite tv shows
new video games and books and scientific discoveries
the crunch of autumn leaves under your feet
the feeling of warmth when you walk in to a warm room in the middle of winter
climbing into your nice soft bed after a long tiring day
watching the clouds drifting
the chance to see what will happen in the future
listening to amazing music which you can feel in your heart
your favourite songs, artists, films,books, foods, smells
a chance to see all the beautiful places
making a difference, no matter how small
the feeling of accomplishment after getting through something
the feeling of a soft breeze on your face
driving in a car with the window down
strangers who you can smile at and brighten the day of
people who you can be around and brighten the day of
flowers and their different colours and aromas
you’re helping all the plants by breathing
you can bake cookies and cakes for yourself and others
the moon glowing, never leaving, to help you feel less alone
the stars illuminating the night. their ancestors created you
lying in bed at night while there’s thunder and rain all around
you can inspire and help so many people
all the people who can inspire and help you
feeling the sun’s warmth on your face
soft warm sand and sparkling oceans
the first bite of food after being hungry
writing with a brand new pen
beautiful hairstyles, make up and clothes you could wear
you can learn anything you want, any language, subject or instrument
travelling to all the pretty places
fragrant tea, coffee and hot chocolate
the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries
soft fuzzy animals who you could cuddle and take care of
all shells, postcards, flowers, train tickets, and anything else you love that you can collect
all the memories that you can preserve
all the art you can create
all the atoms and cells in your body who all work really hard to keep you alive
doughnuts and pizza and birthday cakes
fireworks and all the exploding colours in the night sky
you can take so many beautiful photographs
writing letters and sending gifts
receiving handwritten letters and gifts
somewhere out there so many people care about you
bird songs in the early morning
libraries and the smell of books
smiles, laughs, hugs and kisses
all the meaningful conversations, friendships and relationships you’ll have in the future
gardens, ladybirds, butterflies and bees
the chance to prove everyone wrong
you impact on other people so much more than you realise
being able to laugh and smile and feel alive
happiness, fresh starts and sunrises
a chance to be happy again
a chance to be stronger and wiser and kinder than ever
oversized sweaters and hot water bottles
running free in flower fields
all the little things which mean so much
long walks with someone you love
the euphoria of finally understanding something
all the kind people who are out there
all the kind people who you will meet
exploring forests and special places where there’s no one else apart from you to enjoy
the ability to move, run, walk, bike-ride, swim, jump, dance, sing, hear, taste, see, feel
you are loveable and you are beautiful
you matter and you’re important and you deserve to live
There are so many beautiful things out there. This will all pass. You can get through this. Please don’t kill yourself.
