"I can't be dishonest. I must not say I
understand what you're going through. I'm not going to
tell you I 'get it'. Because I simply don't.
I cannot say I've felt the same anguish as you, the same
rigorous explosive anger as you, or the same
life as you. But, however I can tell you this:
I am here. I do know what it feels like
to be alone in darkness, and from my past, I know it kills like a
shark-bite. I am here. I also know what
happiness feels like: the 'rainbows, the butterflies, the
utter light that is shining down on you'. And that feeling?
It's beautiful.
And because I am here, I will do whatever it takes to make
you feel that same gleam of light that has taken over my
life.
You deserve to feel it too."
