Stay strong ghosties, if you’re struggling please know that you’re deserving of help, take a minute to reach out to someone, whether it’s a friend or a helpline, tell your story, we love you x

Tomorrow needs you.

Tomorrow needs me because my books offer hope; #LGBTQ, survivor, and mental health visibility; and help save lives. Because I have a voice that no one else has. And so do you. . Why does tomorrow need you? Because it does. . . #WSPD18 #TommorowNeedsYou #twloha @twloha #suicideprevention #suicideawareness #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist https://www.instagram.com/p/BnupLbPlJNz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ulv9osa8og99

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

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

Tomorrow needs you... all of you!

Tomorrow needs me because I still have so many songs left to sing, music left to learn, and people to make music with. Tomorrow needs you too, to find what you were made for. #TomorrowNeedsYou #WSPD18 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkwSeIj2BDwnPHM9FCeI-6d4yDHckb_NWr9Sk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a5poujau0pps
