Spreading Awareness

Just know that it's NEVER a bad thing to ask for help, especially when you really need it. It can be scary, yes, but never be too afraid to stand up for yourself and put your safety/well-being first for a change. Because you MATTER, and you deserve to be happy, living your life the best you can. It's NOT selfish at all, trust me... It's never your fault when you're treated so horribly, and you can get through this, no matter what... And when you're in danger like that and subjected to terrible things, you don't have to go through it all by yourself. It can be hard, but each step is significant and in the future, you'll see your growth and all you've overcome. You can also help others and you'll all become even stronger, spreading love and not letting the hate win in the end. As long as you're here, fighting, and continuing to survive through it all... You're winning, and nothing can ever change that fact. Never let their hate consume you, and continue to be your amazing self. You are loved, and are special. NO ONE can ever be exactly like you are. So embrace that fact, and get a good understanding of yourself, and comfortable with all you truly are and CAN be. Grow, and learn. Never give up. <3 You are NOT defined by other's own toxic actions. It says a LOT more about their character than your own when they act that way. You can't choose what you were born into, but you CAN choose how you can start to try and thrive, as well as prosper despite it all... I know I truly believe in you. I used to never ever believe in myself either and that was part of the problem, but when I realized my true potential, everything seemed more clear and not as hopeless anymore day by day. It's all possible, and it becomes even more easy when we can actually start believing that more and more, no matter what the negative side(s) of our brain may tell us... We have to keep battling and FIGHT for our happiness, in any way that we can, as I've stated before. Not stopping for anything, and continuing until we can achieve it. I sincerely hope you can see and believe it too. It may take a while, but it's worth the fight.

And I'll still try my absolute bestest to be here for/with you all along the way, no matter what, because as long as I'm here on this Earth, I won't EVER stop spreading what I truly believe in; Like this positivity, love, and kindness... Also, if you haven't heard it today... I'm proud of you, and you're doing great. Just take a breath, and go be better than your best~!

If you keep scrolling down, you'll see some of many ways that you can get the help you need:

(These are also from the Think Forward Not Backward support group on FaceBook that I shared in my 2nd post, but I just REALLY wanted to share this all on here as well... It's very important, and you never know who'll need it!)
