Day 7 - Better daysby *MonsterBrand

Scraps

Day 7 of 365
© Nicole Peterson

In light of a recent note I received from a fellow DeviantArt user
that took her own life, I wanted to shoot this photo.
The photo itself is not good, nor beautiful, it is only my truth.
She was only 16 years old. So young, with so much time left.
I have lost friends and loved ones to suicide in the past and it
hurts a great deal to see my fellow human beings resort to this.

To the ones who think you're alone, to the ones who think
you're backed into a corner and can never get out, to the ones
that feel lost, or ugly or worthless... do not worry, that feeling
will not last forever. You do have the power to
change your situation, to make the choice to keep moving
forward towards something better. The path might be covered
in thorns or bottomless pits, but you have to fight to stay on
your path. Life is by no means "easy", but hell... it can be
beautiful. And if you fight to keep moving forward, you
will see that beauty. So, Keep going my friends, because I
swear to you, it can better.

Love,
Nicole

It's not fair that people are forced to take their life, that they think they're not good enough, theres so many people I wish I could show this too.

This is so true. Thank you.

My boyfriend, the love of my life was hurting himself before I met him (and a bit into me knowing him). I'm so glad he didn't take his life. He almost did, and I would have lost the most beautiful person I have ever known.

I am very happy to hear about yours and his positive experiences through all of the bad that he had to sift through. I wish you both the very best in continuing to find happiness and in being creative.
