I don’t mean to make you feel guilty, but if you kill yourself, you will be passing the pain over to the rest of us. Because you're loved, you're valued, you're worthy. Worthy of life.

Right now, I want you to think of anything that you're living for. It doesn't have to be somehing really major, it can be small, but just think of something.

Do you have a baby sibling? One that you want to see grow up, one that you want to be for when they take their first step, go to school for the first time, when they get married, graduate from high school?

Do you have a pet? Do you value spending time with that cute animal, feeding it, looking after it? Is there a meal that your family have every weekend, is it your favourite?

Is there a person that you talk to every day, one that you love with all your heart, that you love spending time with or one that you love just being in their presence?

Is there a TV show that you HAVE to see the ending to? What about that movie that's coming out this year, the one you've been dying to see since, like, forever?

Hang on to those things, no matter how little they are. Please.

And even though I’ve never stood in your shoes, I don't know exactly what you're going through, even though I don't know you and I have no right at all - I'm asking you to stay.

I’m asking you to stay in this cruel world, because trust me on this, ok, I can see your beautiful future. I know, that if you stay, things will get better.

I know that you feel like your life has no meaning, you just get up every day, only to go back to bed at night. But if you stay, you will finally reach that place that sadness will not let you see right now, it's called happiness.

And that place is filled with a second chance, possibilities. It’s not this horrible place, you'll finally be happy for once, trust me. Life may look a way it hasn’t in a long time: it may look like worth staying for.

If you stick around, you'll outlive your demons. You will, I promise, and I don't make promises that I can't keep. I believe in you.

I have one more thing I want you to do, place your hand on your heart. Do you feel that? That's called a purpose. That's called YOUR purpose. You were brought into this world for a reason, a good one. Stop waiting for your heart to stop beating, it deserves to be alive. YOU, deserve to be alive. I promise you.

This message is just a reminder, from a random person who sees a future, one that will be a whole lot better with you in it.

So, stay. Just hang on, because you're loved and things WILL get better. Trust me.

I also want to tell you, that it's ok to cry, to get angry, to scream into a pillow. More importantly, it's ok, to get help. When you let people in, when you ask for help, your demons get weaker.

dear, suicidal person, dont do it! many people care about you but are too scared to reveal it to you after you got all sad. you have so much to accomplish at your age! if your still down, think happy

Please just stay safe and keep hanging in there. Hang on to the thought, that one day you will be so, so, so grateful that you did hang in there.

I love you.

That was beautiful.

You really are a sweet person Kendra, pouring out your heart like this, I don't know much people that can touch others with words like you can. This was lovely.
