today i was blessed with the oppurtunity to speak to a young lady on this site (not going to mention name) she is in a really rough place...

the more i talked to her the more i realized how much she was is the exact place i was at that age, except she is stronger and much smarter, but as i began to give her advice, i realized i wasnt just giving her advice i was also giving advice i wish i would of had at that age, it was like i was talking to my self, except it wasnt me, the more advice i gave and the more i talked the more i realized i was saying things i wish when i was that age i had someone to said those things to me...i realized even though i thought everything that is wrong with me is chemical and that i worked through all my other issues, that i havent even began to start to work through them... i cried for the girl tonight but i also cried for my self at that age at the same time.... sounds odd... but i think this young girl may have just been the kick in the but i need... to take my own advice and to stop hiding and to face my fears and all the bad stuff from my past head on and to let my self feel for my self let my self show my emotions, let my self greive, and most importantly let my self grow in the future...
i am worth it, i am smart, i am beautiful, i am strong, i am worth it, and i deserve to be happy and in a good place in my life... i can beat this illness, this illness isnt me its just that an illness i may not cure it but i can beat it and not let it beat me... i be damned i am going to do my best to do so... i am going to become my own advocate.... and i am going to get better!

i hope i helpped this young lady tonight nearly as much as she helpped me!

if you read this and you know who you are... you to are worth it , strong, smart, and deserve to be happy and in a good place...
