STOP. READ THIS.

Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

STOP. READ THIS.

STOP. READ THIS.

You are all amazing beings. Lately I've heard some CBers saying not-good things about themselves, and they are just wrong. So for anyone who feels like they're worthless or everyone hates them or they will never amount to anything, I have something important for you. 

YOU

ARE

AN

AMAZING

PERSON.

Pause. Let that sink in. Read it four or five times. Okay, now the next one.

YOU 

WILL

BECOME

SOMETHING

GREAT.

Read that one four or five times, until it's burned into your brain. M'kay, now the last one.

YOU

ARE

LOVED.

Short and sweet. I want you to just read that over and over until at least one minute has elapsed. Cry, smile, do whatever. Now stand up and give yourself a big hug, ignore the person that's giving you weird looks. They don't know how awesome you are. Go give them a hug, maybe, but you don't have to if you don't want to. 

Now read this whole thing again, just to make sure it's made an impact. Okay? You should be feeling a little better about yourself by now. If you don't, you should give yourself another hug. Maybe ask for a random out-of-context hug from your parents or siblings, if they'll give it. Go dig up a long-forgotten stuffed animal and hug that. 

If you are ever feeling like you aren't worth being a person, or anything remotely related to that, come/go tell someone. Pm me on nanowrimo, I'll gladly give encouragement. This is a safe place to talk about your feelings. Then go spread some love to others. Give someone a random out-of-context homemade gift. Put a sticky note on somebody's laptop telling them how awesome they are. Come back and read this if you don't really want any human interaction. And remember, you are an amazing human being. Or Mars being. Or inter-dimensional traveler. Or bunny rabbit, or whatever you want to be. 

Peace out, ur awesome! <3 

(Admins this goes for you too) 

And for you, too, Nyx. Thank you.

Wow guys, I can't believe this is only on the third page. I am so, so honored. 

It's been four years since I posted this, two since I poked my head out of the gutter to top it again and you know what? I'm in a rough chapter of life right now. Life is hard. Making plans for the future is hard. Responsibility is hard, and making genuine friendships is hard. Things don't always feel so bright right now. 
But I poked my head in when I heard about a reunion thread that I'm hunting down, and to see that all of you have kept this little blurb alive? This little thread that I wrote on a whim with all the innocence of a thirteen year old who lived under a rock? To see that it's still having an impact? You've gone and made me cry. 

I'm headed to a summer camp this week. It's the highlight of my year and this will be my fifth and final time attending as a camper. And I was so afraid it was gonna be ruined, because there's a possibility that I'll be in the same cabin as someone who I have an incredibly strained relationship with. Most notably, I often feel I'm in her shadow, and I can't make an impression or an impact with her around. But the fact that you are all still here, reading this, is proof that I can, have, and am. That gives me hope for this week and hope for my relationships. It gives me the energy to keep trying to fix things. 
People have been telling me I'm a leader, even though I don't feel qualified to lead them, and many times that I try don't seem to work out. To see that you all are responding to this, that four years later you're still following my attempt at an example of being loving and kind with no strings attached, it shows me that I can lead. 
I wrote this thread four years ago because I hoped I could make a difference in the lives of some people who were feeling bad. 
Right now?
You are making the difference for me. 
And I'm so, so thankful for that. 
Peace out. 
Ur awesome <3
