Hey, so it's 2 AM and I can't sleep. (inaudible) Yeah, tonight or...last night was pretty hard
for me. And I did some things I regret. And, yeah. (sighs) I stopped trying to be okay
a really long time ago. And I've kind of just been surviving. I haven't really attempted
anything and I haven't made any great choices because...right now...simply existing is...all
I can do. And you know what I realized? That's okay. Sometimes simply living and not doing
anything fabulous is...okay. It's okay to be struggling and sad at times because...I
know that one day I'll overcome it. And maybe right now is just not that time. And you know
what else? That's okay too! I'm fourteen and...I have a full life ahead of me - hopefully.
It's okay if I waste a summer doing nothing with my friends. It's okay if I forget to
do the dishes every once in a while and my parents get mad. I had one year where I slacked
off and kind of did horribly in school, and that's okay, as well. Because things change,
and friends leave, and life doesn't stop for anybody. I don't want...anybody to feel the
way I do right now. So...if you're lost...or...sad, or suicidal, or self harming, or anything
like that...know that you can come to me. If all you did today, or yesterday, or the
day before that, or the day before that was survive...that's okay. And I want you to know
that I'm proud of you, just for living. Just for being here. For...surviving. Whoever you
are, if you're watching this, you're a beautiful individual. Inside and out. You can accomplish
anything you set your mind to. You can overcome anything life throws at you. Don't change
for anyone. And I mean no one. I realized tonight that... I have a lot of things to
be grateful for. And... a lot of really amazing people who love me and that I can go on. Basically
the point of this video is... don't give up. Don't throw in the towel because you do mean
something. And this world would not be better off without you. Thank you to all the people
who have been there for me tonight. And thank you for watching this. I love you.
