"With shortness of breath
I'll explain the infinite.
How rare and beautiful
it truly is
that we exist"
- Saturn by Sleeping At Last

I mention suicide a little bit below so if you're uncomfortable with the topic of suicide, I recommend skipping the explanation below and focusing on the artwork.

I was listening to this beautiful song last night and dang I'll just say, this song makes you feel so many emotions. This song brought me back to when I was young child and how I used to spend a lot of time with my parents as they would teach me about life and how important it is. It also just brought back a lot of positive childhood memories in general from my old home I grew up in before I moved recently. However I think the most important thing that this song reminds me of is that despite all the hardships I've been through, it's important to remember that our lives have worth and we must cherish all the great things about ourselves and the world around us. I'm not going to lie when I say that there's been times where I wanted to end everything and not go on anymore because I just couldn't handle all the stress and emotional pain the world had to offer. Sometimes I just felt so worn down by everything that I felt so certain that ending it all was the right choice to free myself from all the pain. However with all that being said, there were two things that always help keep me going through those dark periods. Those two things were hope and optimism. I had hope that things would get better at some point. I had hope in myself and that I wouldn't give up and push through. I was optimistic about all the good things the world had to offer me and how I wanted to embrace them. I was determined to get better. I eventually began to realize my worth to those who cared about me as well as how I viewed my own personal worth and I began on the path to raising my self confidence and self worth, working hard to combat negative thoughts by replacing them with positive ones and stepping out of my comfort zone at times to raise confidence. While it was a very challenging path to take, it was a path that was worth it. Some nights I like to peer out my window and stare at the stars, thinking about the beauty of the night sky and how beautiful nature can be and how it reminds me of all the good in life and how I'm happy to be where I am. I understand that not everyone is as optimistic and hopeful as I am. We are all different and we all have different ways on how we view life and sometimes it's too hard for people to feel much hope or optimism. Life can suck, it really can and it's understandable why some people may be pessimistic about it. There's terrible crap that happens in this world and in our lives, some people have harder lives than others and some people react to trauma and hardships differently. If you're dealing with mental illness or going through a hard time, talk about it. Talk to someone you trust about how your feeling, create vents that communicate your thoughts, seek help from a professional if you feel that you need it. What you are going through and what you are feeling is completely valid and you deserve all the support. You are worthy and you are wonderful.
