This week is National Suicide Prevention Week. I wrote a short poem for those who are fighting to continue. Take a listen. Share it around. Stay for tomorrow.

Its National Suicide Prevention Week and I am back with another reason to stay! This is my personal favorite. ❤ THERE IS STILL SOME TIME. You are alive and breathing. You have time. You have time to change yourself, you have time to seek help, to find a new hobby, to read a book, to fulfill a dream, to discover new music, a new passion. There is time. This writing will always be one of my favorites by the lovely Jamie Tworkowski. It's so true. Take your time because you have it. Don't end your time now. You can stop and rest, you can take time to recover, you can take time to find something that makes you happy, but once you end it you'll never get it back. There's a reason you're still here and there's a reason why your hourglass has yet to run out. The sand in your hourglass is composed of good days and bad days and a beautiful future you have yet to see. Even if today is bad, it is only one little speck of sand, but you, my friend, have many more specks to come, if only you choose to be here and see it. Please stay. #wspd18 #nspw18 #twloha (at Topeka, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnr5o7UF1DL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11afxcph3meix

Fall term: day 9 It’s been a long week. I’m grateful for my work, but very thankful to be in bed right now. • • • [Image: black and white whiteboard with the written quote, “Someone, somewhere loves you. If you can’t think of someone, I’d ask you to look again. Reach out your hand and see who grabs it, because someone needs you, your presence affects people.” -Sarah Sterrett #TomorrowNeedsYou #nspw18 ] https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnp0Zd0nFMp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q2n93ipfi0b0

It's National Suicide Prevention Week and I'm back with another reason why you should stay. YOU NEVER KNOW... At any single moment, your life could change forever. In 5 minutes, you could get the call that you got that job you thought you never would. Tonight, you could meet "the one." Tomorrow, whatever had been weighing on your heart and causing you pain could be gone forever. At any moment your world could shift and things could get better. The truth is, we'll never know when those life changing moments will happen. That's the cool (and scary) part of life, but when you're in that moment and you can feel your world shift for the better, it'll be so good. If you go, you'll never get to experience those moments. Please stay. If you or someone you know is struggling please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. #nspw18 #wspd18 (at Brooklyn Park, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpUkV3l-Cm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17t92d3koqw0f

It's National Suicide Prevention Week and I'm bringing another reason why you should stay. ❤ BEAUTY SURROUNDS YOU. I know first hand that when things go wrong it's hard to find the beauty in life, but it's there. Its always there. Whether that's the grace that God offers or a sunset or a painting, beauty is everywhere. Maybe it's a concerto, maybe it's a daisy growing on the side of a road, maybe it's the gemstone like eyes of someone you love, but everyday you encounter something beautiful. Take a minute to focus on the world around you, focus on every detail you love about it. You'll come to find that if you look for it, you'll find it. But do you wanna know something awesome? There is nothing more beautiful than you. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who continues to hold on even when all they want to do is give up. You are brave, you are strong, and my goodness you are beautiful. Keep holding on.❤ #wspd18 #nspw18 (at Topeka, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnmuv4HFnIL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dkkih0sj6rut
