To everyone who has dealt with suicidal thoughts this past year, I'm glad you're still here.

Seriously. To those who see things like this and think, “You probably don’t even know them, how could you be happy they’re still here?” 

Well, for one, what kind of person hears that somebody has considered taking their own life and thinks, “Well since I don’t know you, I mean, it’s whatever.” That person has struggled, and as stupid and cliche as it may sound, life is a miracle, that person is a miracle. Just because you don’t know somebody doesn’t mean their life matters any less to those around them. Which brings me to my next point. 

Have you ever heard that saying, “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world?” Well think about the people in your life, the ones you love, the ones you care about. Every person has a network like that (if you’re reading this and think you don’t, you do, they’re out there, even if it isn’t obvious). Think about how devastated you would be if your loved one killed themselves. That person makes up a part of you life, and bam, that part of your life is gone. 

I think a part of the original post is trying to spread the message that you will be missed and you are loved, and people care about you, even if they only follow your blog. Sadly, a lot of people keep their feelings bottled up inside, and don’t tell others they are struggling. Maybe your loved one was like them. Maybe you didn’t know what was going on, maybe the signs weren’t there. You might feel guilty, responsible. Well these feelings are the sad reality of so many out there. You don’t know who’s had suicidal thoughts, but if it were anyone in your life, wouldn’t you be grateful for this post? Grateful you could think of a person who is still here?

Lastly, have you ever seen that image on the Facebook login screen? The one that shows all the people being connected to each other? That’s life. Hell, that’s Tumblr. The person who dealt with suicidal thoughts could become one of those loved ones we just talked about. You never know. Any person on the world could turn out to be an important part of your life. Yeah, the odds are slim but really, look at the relationships in your life. What were the odds of them? For all you know, someone is looking at this post thinking, someone appreciates me. And you’re scoffing at that same post? You could end marrying that person for all you know! That’s how life is! It’s unpredictable! 

Apologies if this makes no sense, but I had to say it. Don’t laugh at things like this. You don’t have to reblog it, you don’t write long rambling comments about it. Just don’t sneer at this. Just think about it. 

And to anyone reading this (wow, you’ve stuck in there? Amazing.) who’s had suicidal thoughts, you aren’t alone. If you need someone to talk to, my ask box is there. I’ve been there, and I’m not afraid to say it. Thank you for still being here, who knows, you could be my soulmate. 

I didn’t think my post would get such a response. But this is amazing. Tumblr gives me hope. <3
