100 Reasons NOT To Kill Yourself

1. We would miss you. 2. It’s not worth the regret. Either by yourself if you failed or just simply left scars, or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you. 3. It does get better. Believe it or not it will eventually get better. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the rainbow. 4. There’s so much you would miss out on doing. 5. There is always a reason to live. It might not be clear right now, but it is always there. 6. So many people care, and it would hurt them if you hurt yourself. 7. You ARE worth it. Don’t let anyone, especially yourself, tell you otherwise. 8. You are amazing. 9. A time will come, once you’ve battled the toughest times of your life and are in ease once again, where you will be so glad that you decided to keep on living. You will emerge stronger from this all, and won’t regret your choice to carry on with life. Because things always get better. 10. What about all the things you’ve always wanted to do? What about the things you’ve planned, but never got around to doing? You can’t do them when you’re dead. 11. I love you. Even if only one person loves you, that’s still a reason to stay alive. 12. You won’t be able to listen to music if you die. 13. Killing yourself is never worth it. You’ll hurt both yourself and all the people you care about. 14. There are so many people that would miss you, including me. 15. You’re preventing a future generation, YOUR KIDS, from even being born. 16. How do you think your family would feel? Would it improve their lives if you died? 17. You’re gorgeous, amazing, and to someone you are perfect. 18. Think about your favourite music artist, you’ll never hear their voice again… 19. You’ll never have the feeling of walking into a warm building on a cold day 20. Listening to incredibly loud music 21. Being alive is just really good. 22. Not being alive is really bad. 23. Finding your soulmate. 24. Red pandas 25. Going to diners at three in the morning. 26. Really soft pillows. 27. Eating pizza in New York City. 28. Proving people wrong with your success. 29. Watching the jerks that doubted you fail at life. 30. Seeing someone trip over a garbage can. 31. Being able to help other people. 32. Bonfires. 33. Sitting on rooftops. 34. Seeing every single country in the world. 35. Going on roadtrips. 36. You might win the lottery someday. 37. Listening to music on a record player. 38. Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. 39. Taking really cool pictures. 40. Literally meeting thousands of new people. 41. Hearing crazy stories. 42. Telling crazy stories. 43. Eating ice cream on a hot day. 44. More Harry Potter books could come out, you never know. 45. Travelling to another planet someday. 46. Having an underwater house. 47. Randomly running into your hero on the street. 48. Having your own room at a fancy hotel. 49. Trampolines. 50. Think about your favourite movie, you’ll never watch it again. 51. Think about the feeling of laughing out loud in a public place because your best friend has just sent you an inside joke, 52. Your survival will make the world better, even if it’s for just one person or 20 or 100 or more. 53. People do care. 54. Treehouses 55. Hanging out with your soul mate in a treehouse 55. Snorting when you laugh and not caring who sees 56. I don’t even know you and I love you. 57. I don’t even know you and I care about you. 58. Because nobody is going to be like you ever, so embrace your uniqueness! 59. You won’t be here to experience the first cat world emperor. 60. WHAT ABOUT FOOD?! YOU’LL MISS CHOCOLATE AND ALL THE OTHER NOM THINGS! 61. Starbucks. 62. Hugs. 63. Stargazing. 64. You have a purpose, and it’s up to you to find out what it is. 65. You’ve changed somebody’s life. 66. Now you could change the world. 67. You will meet the person that’s perfect for you. 68. No matter how much or how little, you have your life ahead of you. 69. You have the chance to save somebody’s life. 70. If you end your life, you’re stopping yourself from achieving great things. 71. Making snow angels. 72. Making snowmen. 73. Snowball fights. 74. Life is what you make of it. 75. Everybody has a talent. 76. Laughing until you cry. 77. Having the ability to be sad means you have the ability to be happy. 78. The world would not be the same if you didn’t exist. 79. Its possible to turn frowns, upside down 80. Be yourself, don’t take anyone’s shit, and never let them take you alive. 81. Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary. Be your own hero. 82. Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections. 83. One day your smile will be real. 84. Having a really hot, relaxing bath after a stressful day. 85. Lying on grass and laughing at the clouds. 86. Getting completely smashed with your best friends. 87. Eating crazy food. 88. Staying up all night watching your favourite films with a loved one. 89.

Tea / Coffee / Hot Chocolate 94. Sherlock season three. 95. Cuddling under the stars. 96. Being stupid in public because you just can. 97. If you are reading this then you are alive! Is there any more reason to smile? 98. being able to hug that one person you havent seen in years 99. People care enough about you and your future to come up with 100 reasons for you not to do this. 100. But, the final and most important one is, just, being able to experience life. Because even if your life doesn’t seem so great right now, literally anything could happen

Willem Arondeus was a Dutch resistance fighter who gave his life trying to protect his Jewish countrymen from the Nazis. Born in Amsterdam in 1895, Willem was one of six children. From a young age, he was a talented artist and his parents encouraged his creativity, until he came out as homosexual at age 17. In a time when nearly all gay people were in the closet, Willem’s parents could not accept his choice to live openly. Their rejection led Willem to run away from home. On his own, Willem took odd jobs and eventually became a successful visual artist and writer. He was commissioned to paint a mural for Rotterdam’s town hall, in a style that combined modern abstract painting with a traditional Dutch motif. Willem was a well-respected author who published a popular biography of Dutch painter and political activist Matthijs Maris. In 1940, Germany invaded the Netherlands. Willem immediately joined the resistance movement, and urged his fellow artists to fight against the Nazi occupation. WIllem published illegal anti-Nazi pamphlets calling for mass resistance against the Germans. Willem was especially committed to saving Amsterdam’s Jewish community. Bringing in others to the cause, Willem arranged for Dutch Jews to be hidden in people’s homes. He used his artistic skills to create false identity papers. In 1943, Willem hatched a brazen plan. Dressed as a German Army captain, and with 15 men behind him, Willem boldly marched into the Public Record Office, where lists identifying people as Jews were kept. Willem drugged the guards and planted a firebomb. The resulting blaze destroyed tens of thousands of documents, and delayed or prevented many Jews from being identified by the Nazis. Unfortunately, Willem was captured by the Germans and sentenced to death. Willem’s last words before being executed in July, 1943 were, “Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.” In 1986 Yad Vashem recognized Arondeus as Righteous Among the Nations. Because of his sexual orientation, Willem’s story was omitted from Dutch history books. Only in the last 20 years has his courage become widely known.

Please help me.

My name is Kaylen. I’m single, black, queer,  lonely, whatever. Mostly poor.

I am a student at Indiana University. My mom does not believe in school. I do not have a high school diploma (she doesn’t trust public schools either) so I had to drive myself two hours away at 17 get my GED. I got into IU through a back door (yay for community college!) because I couldn’t afford to take the SAT/ACT.   I am mostly paying for school out of pocket. All I have is my education to keep me going. It has made me a happier, brighter, less anxious person, finally with a future. I get stellar grades, always on time to class, always sitting in the front. It is all I have. It is literally all I have. Mentally. Physically. My future depends on it.

I currently make $8.20 an hour at Starbucks. I make tips, but they average around 50c/hour. After taxes, I bring home around $400 a month, if that. My dad helps me the best he can, but he is on a city salary and I cannot keep asking him for money.

My rent went from $399.00 a month to $415.00 a month. I could not afford to pay for a $30.00n parking pass to my own complex, so I have to hope there’s a parking spot a block or two over and walk home in the middle of the night after every shift.

I am on depression medication that averages $20 for a monthly refill.

I frequently have kidney problems that average $30.00 a refill

I have migraines, for which meds average $120.00 a refill.

My electricity is $50.00 a month.

My car is $120.00 a month.

My insurance is $65.00 a month.

My car needs an oil change, a tire alignment, and is making weird noises that I have to get an estimate for. $70.00.

I am paying for school at Indiana University at around $7,000.00 per year. I get loans, but they are not enough. My hyper-religious parents do not like to talk, think, or even hear me ask for money about school. They help me with cosigning loans if I ask(and at a junior level, I am very badly in debt), but at an emotional price of a rant and mostly screaming and a lot of “you’re going to hell for not doing what God tells you to do”. So that has a massive psychological toll. I also cannot ask them for money for the doctor as they have a “strong trust in the lord to heal me”.

I just worked all summer and paid off my summer class at $1,339.00. Here is my bank account.

The rest will go to rent, which will not come close to covering hers or mine. I will have $0 to my name for months.

I have a rape and sexual harassment lawsuit against a police officer I am fighting at the moment. My depression medication ran out shortly after and I am beginning to feel the effects of my situation, my rape case, and general hopelessness set in on top of the depression. I am sinking.

My roommate has been deathly ill and has not been working and can only pay $275.00 of her rent. It is already overdue and I am going to have to pay the rest of the $415.00 and a $50 fee because she did not pay on time. This is so she does not get kicked out and I have to pay for the extra room until i find a roommate, which can’t happen as leases do not start again for another six months.

I do not have food. I cannot afford anything to eat. I currently have old food i stole from work, eggs, less than half a gallon of milk, and some old packets of ramen.

I am out of medicine for my depression, kidney problems and migraines until I can afford a total of $100 in copays to even see my doctors, let alone get medicine.

I have been selling panties, my games, all of my hobby supplies, furniture, eating less, not going home, not going anywhere to save gas. At the end of the day, if I could just eat, I would feel ten times better. Please help me.

If you could send me even a dollar, it would help tremendously. If not that, please reblog in hopes someone that can help sees this?

I’ve never felt so hopeless in my life. I cannot cannot cannot cannot lose my education. It’s been the only thing to get me through my depression, my toxic home situation, everything. It is everything to me.

These never work for me, but here’s to trying.

  1. I don’t believe in these things
  2. But last time I reblogged one ten/fifteen minutes later I got a call offering me a job
  3. But I reblogged it because I was waiting on hearing back from the job. So there you go.
