Description "why do you have those scars?"

"because i was stupid, sad, and words can hurt someone. People can be so cruel sometimes. Girls can rip your heart out and make you not want to live anymore. That loneliness can eat you up. You know you're alone when you spend 7 years of your life sitting alone at a lunch table."

A quote my best friend told me. He's much older than me and he's seen the world through such a dark light. His life was so horrible, it's amazing how he's alive. Whenever he comes over, I always see those deep scars on his wrist. He's a lot better now. He's like an older brother to me.

...

I stopped my other friend from trying to commit suicide. Twice. Just in one month. He has had such a dark and twisted past, having to do with extreme bullying and being at the hands of manipulative girls. His sanity and stability was at the edge. He has such a fragile heart and mind, and to just have people, especially girls, picking at them and hurting him from the inside is just horrible. Sometimes I can't look at him right, because I have that image of him crying his eyes out still burned into my memory. He's tried to commit suicide a couple times in the past too. By any means.

He said he's seeing the world in a much different light now, ever since he's met me, and ever since he's learned to let go of the past, to forget and not hold on, and to let go and enjoy the light.

I sometimes imagine how life would be without him or any of my other friends. I also imagine how life would be without me. I still do.

We've all been there. We've all been the ones who were bullied. The ones crying themselves to sleep. The ones too scared to wake up and get up in the morning.The ones too scared to go to school. The ones abused. The ones who were told not to live anymore. The ones who were told not to succeed. The ones who were told to give up their dreams. The ones who were told they had no purpose in life.

You're not alone. It'll get better. There is always a light at the end of every dark tunnel. There are people that care about you. Look around you. Don't give up. I believe in you.

On a side note: I was suicidal last night. And my friend that I drew for this and the one that I mostly described above talked me out of it.

Someone out there loves you. Your friends, your family, hell, even a stranger will love you.

Remember that I love you. Life is so beautiful. I want you to see it too.

A big thank you for all my loving friends and family. I litereally would not be alive without them.

And a big thanks to anyone who is a friend to someone else. You have no idea how much you mean to that person.

And thanks to anyone who took the time to read all of this.
