Day 4:

So I ended up getting home around 1 am last night. I spent like 2 hours sleeping on my friends couch while we waited for our moms to return. :P
But overall it was fun. :)
Not really sure what to talk about since I did pretty much nothing all day.

Something I'm realizing more and more everyday is that nobody ever has to be alone in anything. There will always be someone there for you and if you're really lucky you won't be able to push them away. Whatever your excuse is, you don't want anybody to suffer with you, they don't wanna hear about this, they've got problems of their own, I can do this on my own, etc. Whatever it is, they'll be there. And I'm so glad that I have people like that in my life. They've made everything so much easier for me and I don't know what I would have done if they weren't there. But, what I was getting to before was that everything's a lot harder if you don't let those people in and share what's going on. Sometimes even having someone there that will listen is good enough to ease the burden.

On to my next point. There is someone else out there who is going through the same thing as you, or someone that has gone through the same thing as you. Unless of course you have an extremely unique disease that nobody else does, then you are the only person who's gone/going through that. But the point is if you really feel like nobody understands you chances are that somebody you know has gone through the same thing you're going through. Or is going through that now. You don't have to be alone. Ever. And nobody should have to.

I guess most of this came from the TWLOHA video that's up on their youtube. And what Jamie talks about is how people are meant to be around other people. We are social creatures and solitude just isn't for us. We need people to share our grief with, and we also need people to share our happiness with becuase that's just as important. Which is something else, just because someone is going through a hard time doesn't mean that the happy things shouldn't be held important. That's something I've learned over the past year. Because ignoring your acclomplishments or stuff that makes you happy in a time of sadness will make that time a LOT worse. Obviously it's not gonna be as great as it should be, but that doesn't mean that it should mean nothing.

Right so TWLOHA is To Write Love On Her Arms and I think what they're doing is great. Getting the message out that every life is worth saving and that every story deserves to be heard. And in my opinion a lot of people keep to themselves because they're scared to admit that they're imperfect. I know that everybody knows nobody's perfect, but when somebody thinks that there is something really wrong with them, or that they should feel a certain way, they're really not going to want to talk about that. But keeping things to yourself is a lot more destructive and in the end it's going to be way worse.
By this I don't mean tell everybody, but tell somebody you trust. Somebody that will be able to help you, or just somebody that will listen.

Not really sure if I got what I meant to say across with this message, but yeah, I guess I've just been thinking about stuff :P
And I'm there for anybody who needs me. :)
That's all until tomorrow!
