There are times in your life where you fall down and you don& #39;t have the strength to get back up.
Most days you wear a mask that has a big smile drawn on it, and you wear this every single day when you go to school, go to work or even in your own home.
Fooling the world.

You pretend that everything is okay when it& #39;s very clearly not. You go through the day battling your own inner demons, while at the same time you have to fight someone else& #39;s, just to make sure they& #39;re happy.
Because their happiness means more to you than your own, right?

So when the day is done and you think you have absolutely nothing left to give, you climb into your bed or whatever small, safe haven you have and you lie there staring at the darkness.
No one& #39;s watching you, you don& #39;t have to impress anyone & no one can see you fall apart.

You allow that fear and doubt to flood in, you give yourself permission to cry and you silently scream in your head, wishing that your life could be better.
You begin to doubt everything in your life but most importantly ... you doubt yourself.

I can tell you that I feel those things every single day and I know exactly what that pain is like.
I& #39;ve been physically, sexually and emotionally abused since the day I was 4 years old until I was 22.
There were PLENTY of times I wanted to give up and I even TRIED to.

My body is lined with over 314 scars. Most from my own doing and others are from the attempts of people who didn& #39;t care. I& #39;ve tried to end my life over 200 times in my 30 years.
200 times.
I have PTSD, DID, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, flashbacks - you name it.

Even through all that pain, I kept getting back up.
It& #39;s not about being the best & #39;survivor& #39; or who has the most painful life story ... it is about getting back up, even when the ground is shaking and your world is falling apart around you. You don& #39;t quit, ever.

I know your life has been a tough road.
I know you& #39;re in pain.
I know you& #39;re struggling to make ends meet and survive through one more day, and you keep saying to yourself, "Just ONE ... MORE ... DAY."
Life is not an easy journey ... but it is YOURS and yours alone.

As difficult as it is - please, keep getting back up.
New days will come and some will be better, some will be worse but you only get the ONE LIFE, so you might as well see it out to the end.
Find the small wins in each day and cling to them with your whole heart.

When life gets too much, go outside and stare at the clouds/stars, truly stop & smell the flowers. Be lost in the moment and take a deep breath.
You& #39;re doing amazing and I& #39;m so incredibly proud of you.
I& #39;m ALWAYS here if you need a friend.
Keep swingin. You& #39;ll be okay.
