  • I’m pretty damn terrible at this, so I can’t give you any real advice, but Imma try dammit:

    I’ve had a pretty rough life myself thus far, I’ve had serious struggles with suicide, depression, addiction, being abandoned by my family, being homeless, and so on, and one thing I can tell you is this: the absolute simultaneous curse as well as blessing that is & always has been absolutely central to human motherfucking existence is the phenomenon of hope. It always exists, even when you think it doesn’t. Even when you don’t want it to. Hell, especially when you don’t want it to.

    Keep going.

    That’s all I can say on that. I have no fucking clue what advice to give nor frankly do I have any right to. I’m not in your shoes. But you are a human, which sounds innocuous and obvious but in my experience that automatically means you’re stronger than you think you are. You’ve survived this long, haven’t you? You may feel like a shell of a human being but you’ve still persisted. I don’t care what anyone tells you, I don’t care what you tell yourself. That’s your proof of your strength right fucking there.

    Just keep going.

    Feel free to complain the whole fucking time—hell, I do every goddamn day—but keep going. Even if it’s just to spite existence, keep. going.

    I don’t know you, I’ve not met you, but just from what you say, I can tell you one thing: I do believe in you. I mean that, dammit.
