Today is National Suicide Awareness Day.
All who know me, or have read this site before, know that I am a huge advocate against Suicide and I try to help those around me that are dealing with hardships, depression and any thoughts of suicide. It is such a serious issue, and my heart goes out to all of those who have lost loved ones to the horrible disease.
I have lost a family member to suicide, and I've been through enough to know the ropes of depression and its effects. It is not always a selfish act, so do not push people away who are feeling this low, you should be there for those people! Sometimes people aren't told enough, or shown enough, how much they are loved. So, remember to tell someone you love today that they are well appreciated, and remember that each and every one of you are loved.
Remain beautiful
Remember love in the lowest of all times

Change
I opened a fortune cookie today and probably received one of the largest truths in a while. Not only that, but it was a beautiful hint of advice that I am faithfully applying to my life recently.
The fortune cookie read, "Idleness is the holiday of fools."
Does anyone understand what that means? Well, I'll tell you what it means to me.
For the longest time I have sat and just allowed everything to happen around me, because I have felt helpless. I have felt like there is not much for me to do.
However, the truth is that by sitting idle, you are allowing even the negative events to occur, you are sitting and watching bad things happen to you and to those around you.
How is this fair? How is this right? How is this anything but foolish?
Well, I'll tell you what, I didn't have an incredible saying to go along with it at first, but for the past month I have felt that sitting and doing nothing is not for me anymore.
I am so tired of letting people control my life. I am so tired of letting people walk all over me, tired of letting bad things happen when I DO have a say, I DO have an obligation to stop what is not right.
So, I've begun to stand up for myself. I am telling people "no."
I am fighting for what I believe is in the best interest for myself, and I do not need any goddamn help from anyone else, because what has that help given me in the past? Almost nothing but more pain.
It is time that my independent status actually shown through, and I do not care that by law I still have four months to wait until I am of legal age to decide where I am living, to have my own bank account without a cosigner, and to decide against any other idiotic obstacles that there are standing in my way.
If what I'm being told will hinder me in ANY form or way, hinder ANY aspect of my life, then I am not going through with it and I am doing what I need to do to be in the best shape for this very important year in my life.
I believe it is time for adults to be adults, and that requires growing up, taking responsibilities, making those responsibilities priority and being an overall good person.
I will not give respect to my elders that have NO respect for those below them, NO respect for those above them, and absolutely NO respect for themselves. These are vital to caring for other people. And one must learn this before any duties can be taken into responsibility.
Respect is so important.
And honesty is right along those lines.
Here begins the start of a revolution in my world, because I am not backing down; I am going to do EVERYTHING in my power that I know is right.
And it is my advice to the world that you keep your head up and you do what is right for yourself, too. Because you come FIRST.
Keep in mind that you must be appropriate and not get into any trouble, because trouble does not help you in the least bit, but do what is necessary. Become who you are against those who are pushing you down and folding you in so that you cannot flourish.
I tell you to flourish, anyway.
Always remain beautiful.
Love and be loved.
Respect is key.
