I saw a post a few minutes ago showing a girl revealing cuts under her skirt. She said for everyone that reblogged she would right their name on a piece of paper and put it in a jar to remind herself of people that cared about her.

Now. This girl is beautiful. Beautiful face beautiful body. She’s amazing.

Not me. I have neither. I have an ugly face, body, and soul.

I make a similar post. Asking people if they gave a shit if I’d overdose and for every name I see I’ll right it on my wall. This way if I’m ever having a hard time I can go to one of those blogs and talk to them.

My post gets under 70 notes (including people who liked and reblogged the post.) I showed my pills. I had 46 at the time. I think I have over 50 now.

All saved up for when I decide to end it.

The other girl gets over 5,000 notes and SEVERAL anons running to help her. I appreciate the 5 people that reached out to me….but it’s funny to me.

The fact that I’m showing a bowl full of pills should get (kind-hearted, caring) people scared.

But because I’m not the thinnest or the prettiest girl I will be over looked more often than not.

People on this site are hypocrites.

The only thing that has stopped me from taking those pills is the names on my wall.

But seeing that post reminds me how pathetic I was to think a lot of people would give a shit if I overdosed.

Once again the beautiful are glorified and hundreds run to help them.

As part of a multi-year project called “The Girl Studies,” Charlie White photographed teen girls between the ages of 12 and 14 side-by-side with male to female transgender adults. In each image, the paired individuals stand out against a non-descript background, making their similarities in appearance all the more evident. Ultimately, the mini-series is a comparative study of two paths toward womanhood, one biological and the other surgical/chemical in nature.

i love art

You are amazing. You are beautiful. You are worth it. You are not alone.

I swear you are worth it. I’m here for you. I wish I could just give every person that is hurting a hug. The kind of hug that lets them know someone cares and someone believes in you.

Put down the blade. Put away the lighters and matches. Stop hurting yourselves. You don’t deserve. I don’t give a fuck what anyone has ever said that says otherwise. You deserve to be happy. You don’t deserve your pain.

If I could I would hug you so tight. Let you cry until you feel calm. Lord knows how many times I’ve needed someone to do that for me.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Don’t point out what you hate. focus on things you like. No matter what it is. If you like your left earlobe you PRAISE that ear lobe. Because it  is part of the amazing and beautiful person that you are.

Step back from the ledge. flush those pills. put any kind of rope somewhere you can’t see it.

Because you deserve to keep breathing. You deserve to live a happy life. Believe me. I understand how hard life is. I’ve been to Hell and back quite a few times. It is by no means easy. But it is possible to get better. I’m not better yet. But I am trying. And it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But all I think about is what I want most in life: to work for National Geographic and to have a family.

Focus on your dream. Work for it. Even if it is a little at a time. but make that dream a reality.

Don’t be ashamed to speak out for help. Don’t be ashamed of whatever it is that is hurting you. You don’t need to be. Too many of us are meant to feel like we are screwed up. But the thing is. Most of us are suffering. And we hide it. We need to stop hiding our pain. We need to step up and help each other. Because we can all make it through the pain.

You are worth it.

Please believe me.

You are so worth it.

I would love to get to know you.

I will make sure every single day that you know you are incredible and deserve the best of life.

If you need to talk to anyone, please come to me. You can speak anon or not. I usually don’t post it publicly if it isn’t anon. if you want to rant submit something and I won’t post it.

Just keep telling yourself you are worth it. You deserve happiness. You are beautiful. You are perfect.
