Tips and Tutorials

Advice/ Words from me

This chapter will not be a tip or tutorial, but more of a reminder of who we are because I recognize that some of us go to bed at night thinking that no one loves you and/or that you love to much but don't get loved back; and I know I'm young and all that but I'm going to try my best to open our eyes a little.

____________________

I myself do have those nights where I just feel crushed. I feel like I have no place on this earth. I feel like no one wants me, I feel depressed, I feel lonely, sad etc...

__________________

Sometimes I go to bed even knowing I have people who love me to death. But I get this hidden doubt in my mind that maybe I'm just a chore. Maybe I'm just something that has to be dealt with. Maybe people are just nice to me so they don't ruin my day.

___________________

But enough about me. I'm talking I everyone who goes to bed at night, feeling down on themselves; because maybe your parents fight. Or maybe you're depressed or self harming. Maybe you're just going through a really rough time in your life. I honestly don't know. Maybe you're confused on which path you should take, maybe you feel like you aren't pretty enough to meet up to a certain person standards or even just simply your own.

I am no physiologist, I have barley no experience- I am really, just an average person like you. I wake up, go to school and go to bed. I don't travel the world and eat with the best of the best. Outside of this chapter, I'm just an average person.

You are beautiful in your own way. You are not the little voice in your head who tell you to quit. You are a winner. You are a fighter.

My favorite poet, his name is Shame Koyczan. If you are feeling low. Listen to his poem "to this day" and/or " instructions for a bad day"

I love how he talks. And if you don't know him, look him up because I get most of my quotes from him. I'll be using quite a few in here.

Again enough about me. I'm writing this message to you.

I want to start of by telling you that you are not alone. There are many people in the world who have bad days or bad nights like you. And I know sometimes you just want to kill yourself because you feel as if you are weak and you can not handle the pain anymore but I'm telling you to stop....

Look at yourself. Look how far you've come. And I know, yes I know you've heard it a million times! "You're strong." "Stay Strong." "It'll be over soon" "It'll be ok ." . But I'm telling you that that is the truth.

It will all be ok someday. And maybe it wont be 100% ok, but you will not feel this way for long. One day you will look in the mirror and say "I'm beautiful."

Because the day you accept yourself, will be the day of your life.

There is a quote that my Dad said he liked it goes something like this.

"the 2 best days of my life are when I was born, and the day I understood why."

And guys... I really hope you have that day that you understand why you are here right now.

"If you cannot see anything beautiful about yourself- get a better mirror, look a little closer, stair a little longer because there's something inside you that made you keep going despite everyone who told you to quit. You built a cast around your broken heart and signed it, you signed it "they were wrong." Because maybe you didn't belong in a group or a clique. Maybe you got chosen last for basket ball or everything. Maybe you use to being bruises and broken teeth to show and tell but never told; because how can you hold your ground when everyone else around you wants to hurry you beneath it? You have to believe they were wrong! We grow up learning to cheer on the underdog because we see ourselves in them. We stem from a root planed from the belief that we are not what we were called. We are not abandon cars stalled out and sitting empty on some highway and if someway we are, don't worry, we only got out to walk and get gas. We are graduating members of the class of we made it. Not the fatal echoes of voices calling names will never hurt me. Of course they did. But our lives will continue to only every always be a balancing act, that has less to do with pain, and more to do with beauty. "

You are worth it. You are gold.
