You are worth it. Whoever told you that you are a trash, maybe they haven’t discovered the jewel inside you. You are valuable. Don’t glimmer on the wrong people. They will regard you as a simple reflection of a mirror. Let your crystals shine brightly on the people who see you as a diamond. You are valuable.

“I went for a walk before I made the call [to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline]. I played a cheery song and when the song ended, I forced myself to call the lifeline. My chest tightened as I thought about how bizarre the whole experience was. When the operator picked up, I didn’t know what to say. But after forty minutes on the phone, I had told her so much: how I’ve cried in the shower with my face planted on the cold tiles of the wall; how I appreciated my trusted friends checking in on me and how I hated that I was this broken thing they needed to check in on; how uncomfortable it made me that everyone was learning how to recalibrate their conversations with me, like I needed to be handled with kiddie gloves; how interrupting everyone’s (seemingly) happy lives with my own unhappiness only made me regret sharing all this with them in the first place; how becoming an author changed my life and how it didn’t magically heal all wounds or spread happiness into the other arenas of my life; how I was apartment hunting in a city I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay in; how everything felt lose-lose, and so much more. I wasn’t rushed off the phone and when I made the decision to hang up, the operator gave me multiple resources that could better assist me locally. She also reminded me I could still call that number anytime.”
