YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT you are worth it.

You’re worth everything and anything and you deserve more than you have right now. So smile. Be free. Don’t look at me like that, with a frown on your face, saying you’ve given up and you can’t change and it’s impossible to be happy because no one loves you or cares. I care. I say you’re worth it. I think, no, I know you’re worth. You won’t give up, I won’t let you, as long as I’m here, you’ll continue dreaming and trust me, your life won’t be a waking nightmare. You can change. So many people have and you will be one of them.

You just have to learn to love yourself. You deserve to put yourself first, before others. If you’re lonely and sad enough to be here today, to proudly say that no one cares, then maybe those people don’t deserve your love. You do, though. Love yourself. Be yourself. Be free and careless and enjoy your life, because there’s plenty of time, and I’ll stay here for as long as you want me to, but life is short and there’s not enough of life to go around or enough of life to be spent alone and worried and anxious and depressed. You are worthy of life and we both know it. So say it out loud and proud. YOU DESERVE IT.

Deserve to be loved, and cared for. Deserve to be happy and free and careless and live your life. 

You deserve all of it.

So now, don’t go around saying all these lies, because someone out there, whether it be me or you, or a complete total stranger, or a co-worker or a student or anyone, someone believes in you.

And that’s all that matters.
