Hello, my lovelies.
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Hello, my lovelies.
Hello, my lovelies. My name is Hope. I'm not a new CBer; I'm going under this psudonym because I have something important to tell you all.
I'll start by saying, I have no idea what I'm doing. Those amazing CBers who always came to those in need with amazing advice and way to help, I was never one of them. I read all of the threads. Heard about all of these terrible things my friends were going through. And I could never do anything about it, except hurt for them and feel horribly lucky, that my biggest problems were annoying kids and trivial friendship arguments. But it always killed me to see it, because I hated myself for not doing anything to help.
So I guess I've decided to help, now.
I mean, I don't know how, still. I've never gone through anything that would leave me in need of the message I'm trying to send. I don't know how to really get it into your head. But here's the thing, everyone:
You matter. You are loved. And there is a reason to keep going.
And that reason? Life. That you get it once and it's not there for us to pass it by or hate on it. Because think: you're not going to here forever. This is what you've got, and yeah, it's going to suck sometimes. It does for the best of us. But you guys, the fact that you're here? And breathing? And reading this post with your own eyes on some kind of device in some kind of place that's calm and safe enough for you to be reading it in? Amazing. Everyone outside of that specific situation? Still amazing, still loved. I mean, Earth. Science. Blows your mind, thinking about how the world was created and how it manages to rotate every day and give us seasons and gravity and all that jazz, how humans have the capacity to make other humans, how bodily fuctions are performed on a daily basis and allow you to live? Incredible. Really.
And there you are. Perfect and loved and so beautiful. Maybe feeling sad, or tired, or just like you're there, without a true feeling to pintpoint. And it's okay. And I love you because you were created by God and knwon by Him and born to be amazing and goshdarn it, you really are. Truly. No lies. You have this life, y'all. And it has a purpose- to be who you are, and know God, and love yourself and others. And if you aren't doing those things, I still love you. And today is a great day to start.
(*Also, I would prefer you don't guess me- I'd like these posts to remain anonymous.)

I'm back again! <3
Alright, my lovelies. The thing is, y'all matter, so much. Life, it's just so important. And miraculous. And meaningful. You matter. You really do. Your life has purpose. You are here and you are loved and you are so beautiful. And it's all true; you may hear it so many times and never believe it, but it's the biggest and most important thing you can ever be tought. That everybody matters, and that everybody deserves to be loved.
Loving yourself is the first step; loving others comes soon after. Because if you can't look in the mirror and think positive things about yourself, how can you think positive things about others?
It takes time to be satisifed with who you are, and that doesn't mean you have to be perefct. After all, nobody is. You just have to know, in your own mind, that you really are amazing. There isn't a person in Heaven or Hell or on Earth who is no good at all. We have strengths and we have weaknesses. And it is all part of what makes you you, and what makes you so amazing.
So, summary: you are so amazing, no matter who you are; so don't give up on yourself, or tell yourself that you're not good enough. Because you will always be good enough, no matter what you think. <3

Oh, gosh! It's been a few days, hasn't it.
Right now I'd just like to say: It's worth it to keep trying, and plug away at life, because if you look around andtake the time to realize that it really isn't all that bad, I'm sure you can enjoy the moment a little bit more.
Another thing: you're never alone in your struggles. When you feel like there's nobody there, or that nobody can understand what you're going through, just keep in mind: you are not alone. We wouldn't leave you when you need us most, and you're not the only one who's had bad days or had a rough time off of it for a while. We've all been through things; we all have things on our mind; we all need somebody sometimes. And there will always be somebody there when you need them. :)

Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting lately. I haven't forgotten about this, I promise you guys! <3
Today, my avice is to just slow down. Life is just so fast-paced, and it's so easy to get overwhelmed and overlook things. There is so much good in the world that you'll never see if you don't stop to look. It seems like we always need to be occupied, doing things, fiddling around on our phones. But the truth is, you don't need much at all. Just pause for a moment. Every little thing in itself can be a miracle; but you can never be grateful for it if you never take the time to realize it.
I mean, you guys. Just think. Though so much of our lives, the good is going to outweigh the bad, but not always in our heads. Like, we always see that bad. there's nothing too bad about that, unless that's all you ever see. I'm not telling you to ignore porblems or annoyances. I'm just saying, there will always be something good amidst the bad.
When you feel bad, just bad in general, and nothing seems right, just take a minute. Breathe. Think. What's so bad? But what else is good?
Don't forget: you're not alone out there. I care about you. Someone else is going through the same thing. You are all beautiful and amazing and exactly who you need to be. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Everyone deserves life and love. Nothing about you is "wrong" or "bad"; everyone is flawed, and there's nothing wrong with making mistakes.
Don't let the bad stuff go to your head, everyone. Here's a little uplifting poem:
Head Held High
You always walk with your head down, like
you're afraid of what will meet your eyes if you
raise them up to the world; so I
put a hand under your chin, smile at you
I want to see your eyes so beautiful
looking at the world
with a smile
