"...What I do know is how it changed my life forever
I know I should know better..."

Look.
Listen to me,
Just for a moment?
Just for a minute, please.

Okay...
I haven't gone through this,
not to a high extent,
because I had people there that stopped me.

I know a lot of you don't,
but listen, okay?
Listen to these words alone,
Don't listen to your brains,
Don't listen to the bullies or
the mean girls,
Or any other stupid people
who tell you these negative things,
okay?

Listen to these words alone,
and keep them with you,
always,
Okay?

You are beautiful.
You are smart.
You are strong.
You are kind.
You are worth it !

You are handsome.
You are brilliant
You are strength personified.
You are extremely sweet.
You are worth it !

I know this is a mental problem,
I do,
Really.
But, for once, try to shut your brain off,
Or at least that negative portion,
Look at those words above,
Listen to them alone,
Please.

This kind of thing...
It kills , okay?
Not eating is bad for one day,
Starving yourself is deadly.
It's not worth it, okay?
All of you,
All of you are beautiful,
Or handsome.
I don't care what everyone else says right now,
Okay?
I don't care what your brain is saying,
Okay?
Tell your brain to "shut up!" or "butt out!"
Right now, okay?
Tell those idiots out there you don't care,
Or shut them out completely,
right now, okay?
Just listen .

And... if you need someone to talk to,
I'm always here, alright?
I'll listen.
I'm not forcing you to,
I'm just letting you know...

I care ...

okay?

"I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day."
