"When you feel like giving up..."
"... remember why you held on for so long in the first place."

This quote, time and time again, has helped see me through some of the toughest times in my life. And eventually when those tough times got really bad, I felt hopeless. Nothing could make me feel better.
Not until I had a true heart-to-heart with someone who had once been in my shoes. No, it wasn't a professional, and no it wasn't close friend or family member. It was a stranger. And it was that stranger's kindness, love, and wise-words that had helped me get through the toughest time I have faced in my life thus far.
So I've decided that today, I'm going to make a promise to the world. When you're feeling down about anything - be it a broken heart, a broken family, or a broken self-image, I'm here to help. When you have no one else to go to, I'm here for you. When you need a shoulder to cry on, but don't feel comfortable enough with people you know and love, cry on my shoulder. Because whether I know you or not, I love you. No one is a bad person and everyone deserves to feel love.
So here I am. I'm reaching out to you, I'm telling you I love you... I'm here to help.
