The only way to get through with hearts and wrists intact is...

Everywhere I look there's pain and sadness. Some of it is hidden behind walls, some of it is as plain as the nose on my face. At 15 years and 10 months old I'm finding out that life was never what I thought it to be. I'm discovering that people I love dearly are going through some terrible times. Death, loss, low-esteem, family problems, eating disorders, school issues, inability to trust, self doubt, insecurities. I'm betting that you have at least two of those.

I will tell you that life is one is one hell of a bitch. Life is cruel, it's unfair, it's unjust, it's hard as hell. You will cry, scream, feel lost and confused, heartbroken, afraid and frightened. The past few months have been so hard more than I may have let on. Crying myself to sleep has almost become a regular. Sometimes things get so bad I wonder if there's any point in carrying on. If there's a point to all this pain and misery, to all this destruction. I have been through some dark patches and I often find myself back there, losing myself in it. But I refuse to stay there any longer, and I simply refuse to let any of you stay there either.

"You can wake up anytime, don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you," -- Pink, Conversations with my 13 year old self.

"In life there's gonna be times when your feeling low,

And in your mind insecurity seems to take control,

We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval,

We keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is:

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own,

Love will open ever door, it's in your hands, the world is yours,

Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold,

What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar." -- Christina Aguilera, Soar.

You are not alone. You do not have to fight this by yourself. Whatever it is, you have the power to change it, to overcome it. Have faith that you will live to see a brighter day and thing's will get better. Just believe. Each and ever one of you are loved. I don't say it enough but I love you. I know that you are all unique individuals all destined for great futures. I know that you are all beautiful in your own amazing ways. You may not thing you are because your not 'the perfect size' or your nose is too big or your face to wide. Or maybe ebcause you don't look like a model from Vogue. You know what, screw that. You all should be models. You may not see it but I gurantee that someone else does. You just need to believe in yourself.

Take a risk. Maybe you don't have the guts to enter a singing competition or post your writing online? Or maybe shy about putting up your picture? Go for it!! Do the things that your heart desires. You can do it! Imagine wild and dream big. Believe that you can do it because you can, and don't let nobody tell you any different. Never stop fighting, Never stop holding on, Never tell yourself that you can't do something. If at first you don't suceed, try, try and try again. Keep this close to you wherever you go and when you feel lost and cannot see a way out look at this.

I know that you are beautiful. I know that you can go the distance. I believe in you a hindred million trillion billion percent. I would cross oceans, floy to the moon and back and then hitchhike thousands of miles to help each and everyone of you. You can make a difference in someones life, you can help ensure that our world will live a brighter future. Every night I pray that you will all be safe and have the strength and courage to carry on. And I know that you will.

KEEP THE FAITH. IMAGINE WILD. DREAM BIG. NEVER LET GO. NEVER STOP BELIEVEING. SMILE AND LAUGH WHENEVER AND WHEREVER. LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HURT BEFORE. AND REMEMBER; You will live to see a brighter day,
