I can't stop telling you how much I love you!

This week has been a sad one.

Several teens and young adults have committed suicide, because of being bullied or tormented. It truly breaks my heart. I guess I can to some extent relate to them. My high school years were the roughest and hardest. I was teased, tormented, made fun, hated. For no reason. I cried almost everyday, but I just kept praying that life would get better and it did.

I just wish there was more outlets for teens so they can have someone to talk to. A group where they can go and feel loved and cherished and know how beautiful and special they are. I remember when I was in High school there was sort of a group like that, that I was involved in and for 90 mins I felt like I belonged in that school.

I want to create a group for teens and young adults to feel they are loved and can express themselves. I want them to find another outlet maybe through music, writing, drawing instead of cutting and drinking and taking pills. I've known too many people who I love and loved dearly who found the latter part of my previous sentence as an outlet because they felt no one loved them and self-infliction was the only way they could feel something. I don't want that to be an outlet for others.

I am just praying to God, that he gives me an answer on how to start this program. I have others things I want to do and keep bouncing back and forth between my ideas, but I feel this needs to be done. We are losing love and gaining hate. We are so quick to judge someone because they are a little "quirky" or funny looking. We throw out hateful words quicker than we do words of love, kindness and reassurance.

I started this blog and post-it messages to let people see that someone does love them and we need to spread that word. LOVE its four letters but it packs a lot of force behind it.

So know this as you finish reading this blog. Whoever you are, wherever you are... I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, and I need you here in this life. Do not give up, do not let them win. You are never given more that you can endure. Through all the rain a rainbow eventually comes out of it, so endure the rain for the beauty that will come after it. Again I say, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU and want you to love your beautiful body you were give do not damage it with scars to feel some type of feeling, do not take your life because others do not like you, because there are more people out here in the world that LOVE You, some of us you haven't met yet. If anything take me with you in your heart along with God and know that you are loved beyond knowing.
