Great friends will be there every step of the way, willing to do whatever it takes and be there for you no matter what:
“I don’t care what they say about you, I will love you no matter what, you are special and you are you and I like you just the way you are.”
Family will try their hardest even if they do not understand, they will love you unconditionally no matter how frustrated everyone gets. They will take you in and care for you in the best way that they can.
You will discover that people you have only met once or twice will care enough to travel hundreds of miles just to give you a stuffed animal and some moral support when you are feeling at your worst.
Other friends will be incredibly supportive to begin with but as the novelty wears off and things become hard they will drift away. Some will simply stop visiting, others will stop answering their phone, and others will give excuses like “I felt you needed time to yourself”.
People can only handle so much before they walk away.
You touch so many people in your life and it would hurt them to know that you’re not there anymore. You might not even know how much you have affected them. It may be one kind word, it may be that you have just been a figure in the background but they will have noticed you, whether you like it or not.
Sometimes although you feel involved you may just be on the outskirts more invisible than you thought.
There are people who will lie to your face just to protect you from what they say about you behind your back.
People are paid to care about you and support you. Some care, some pretend and others just don’t.
When you give up on yourself hopefully there is someone who will not give up on you.
Sometimes the only thing that will help is a hug and for someone to tell you it will be ok and truly believe it, even if you don’t.
Sometimes all you can do is cry and hope it washes out of your system.
When you are out of control you just have to hope that someone else will step in and take the initiative.
You have to believe that things will get better.
Loneliness is one of the most painful feelings in the world.
When all hope seems to have faded you need to just concentrate on keeping breathing, no matter how hard.
When you give up, hope that the world will not give up on you.
You are the only person who will truly see you for who you are but others can see the positive things that you can’t or that you can but just write-off as unimportant.
Sometimes you just need to survive and hope with all your heart that things will get better.
As long as you are alive there is potential.
Life is unfair. Life is miraculous. Life is cruel. Life is for living. Living is the scariest thing I have ever done.
