to all of the people who may be silently suffering alone right now:

may this be a place in which comfort can be provided, and people can come together to help one another rise again. there is a mathematical certainty that there is someone somewhere inside of this world who knows exactly how you feel, who has seen the things you have seen, and who has been through the circumstances that you have been through. you have brought yourself all the way to this point, and that is something worth celebrating. i dedicate this to all of the times that you could’ve hit quit, but you chose to press continue. here is to you and all that you have been, all that you are right now, and all that you have yet to become. to all of the time that you have given to painting a skull and cross-bone on white flags, to all of the days you have found yourself again, to all of the moments in which you thought you would never make it through, and to you-to you, wonderful, wonderful, and powerful you; thank you for being alive and thank you for being you, thank you.

hang in there, you’re going to be okay.
