hey beautiful (or handsome) I see you've found my witty.
For those of you interested in knowing stuff about me, here goes.
I love reading (mainly fictions), because they're my easiest way to escape. Have any stories for me? I also love photography, dancing like an idiot when no one is home, and finding deep music with meaning.
Some of my favorite bands right now are Breaking Benjamin, Disciple, Skillet, and Avenged Sevenfold. Umm, I'm single, not suprisingly. I'm a huge supporter of To Write Love on Her Arms, and if you know what that is, you probably are too. Check them out, it's a fantastic cause. My name isn't important, along with my story. you'll never remember it anyway. I'm not a judgmental person, I laugh too much, and I have a crooked smile that people often take as a sarcastic look. I come from a big family, and I love my brothers and sisters to death, but living with my parents caused them all to move out and leave me here as soon as they turned eighteen.
I miss them more than I could ever explain.
My favorite color is purple, and when I grow up, I want to be a high school history teacher. I'm not the nicest, and I'm not happy-go-lucky, but I promise to always be here if any of you needs me. Love Always, Anonymous.

hey,   Anonymous   here. 

i know it's long, and I know I'm not "witty famous" or anything near it, but please read this.
So, I haven't been on here long, but I don't have to, to notice things. A lot of you are seriously struggling with low self-confidence, self-harm, addiction, abuse, bullying, and many other things.
so here's to you:

you have low self-esteem, huh? can i ask why? 
did you say that you're maybe....ugly? overweight? stupid? shy
if you did, take it back, because you're wrong.
I promise that some people out there, way more than you expect, think exactly the opposite. 
what do you like about yourself? no, seriously, don't say "nothing."
is it your eyes? do they light up a room?
is it your smile? do people classify it as contagious?
is it your personality? do you people constantly say "I wish she (or he) would talk to me more."?
is it your talents? can you dominate a field or court? leave people speechless with a musical performance? juggle awesomely?
dig deep, i promise you, there's something. 
but you know what?
that's not all.
someone loves you entirely.
not just your eyes, or your smile, your personality, your batting average, or your suprising juggling skills.
all of you.
don't count yourself out.
struggling with an addiction? harming yourself for that release you crave? abused at home or elsewhere?
there is always someone willing to help.

I've spent so long holding myself together.
but now I'm running out of hands.
 

 
it's all because
I know what it's like
to lose sleep.
to hate the way I am.
to feel alone in a crowd.
to write those letters.
to want that release
to cry so hard, I can't breath.
to hold myself together.
to smile through the pain.

i am a living story.
i am not giving up.


and neither should you.

 
 
you have the power
to make your tomorrow better
 


 


please read this, it would mean the absolute world to me.

 this week, I was at Lifest. Five days of extremely talented christian bands playing non-stop to strengthen the faith of other people and help them find God.
I have a friend, his name was Michael. Michael is one of the nicest people I have ever met.
We went to a campsite to see some people someone in our friend group knew.
This 12 year old girl, who didn't even know Michael, walked up to him with a water bottle.
She said, "No one wants you here. Go jump off a f*cking cliff." and then she took the water bottle and splashed it all over him, along with five other water bottles.
Michael did nothing to deserve this, she didn't even know him. He was standing there, soaking wet, looking so incredibly sad. But he didn't say anything to hurt the girl.
He just said "Jesus loves you." and walked away.

People like that little girl prove why our society  is so messed up. Michael told me later that day he's been on depression meds for almost a year, and he's been struggling with self confidence that's been destroyed by people like that 12 year old girl.
Did i mention he's 16?
I know a lot of people's stories are worse. I mean, water bottles? seriously? but still.

I am so sick of bullying. How can someone simply not understand that hurting somone else is just not acceptable? They don't understand the affect words can have, and the things those words can lead people to do.

I think we could all learn a lesson from Michael. Even if someone attacks you verbally or physically, don't fight back. it's what they want.
a reaction.
a simple kind phrase to remind them of how they should act is perfect.
if you're not religious, disregard the "Jesus Loves you."

Be brave. Comment your story on this quote. Prove that the world is a disgusting place, but at the same time, invoke people to feel the need to work to change it.


Can I have some faves to spread the word?


 

 
all i'm waiting for
is for someone to tell me that it's okay to be the way i am.
 
 
You were created to love and be loved.  
You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known.
You need to know that your story is important and that you're part of a bigger story.  

You need to know that your life matters.
 
 
on average, people fear death over anything else.
but i know that someday, i wont be here anymore.

im okay with that.
 
 
dory says "just keep swimming."
but how can we swim in a world so shallow?
 
 

someday, i'm just going to leave.
go find a huge open feild with no one around.
and scream until i can't breathe.
