Dear Reader,
I didn't have the easiest life,
but I didn't have the hardest.
There were many things to happen,
the worst to come was mental illnesses.
I have anxiety, depression, and MPD,
and so do a lot of you.
I know everyone says it'll be okay,
but really it will. I promise.
I cut myself for so long,
tried dying more times than I know.
I didn't think I'd make it,
yet here I am, and I'm telling you:
It gets better and I love you.
I know it's not always easy,
but dammit it's worth it.
