life can be tough at times. life can seem like it will never get better. life sucks most of the time, but finding little reasons to live are the saving grace to most people. most people stay because they know how much it would hurt those around them if they didn't.
please choose to stay. you are loved. you are supposed to be here.
again, please don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help. no one deserves to live this life questioning whether or not people care about them.
