a-side-of-sassy:

Hey, you.

Stop.

That’s right.

Whatever you’re doing now, stop.

Drop the blade.

Drop the rope.

Drop the gun.

Just stop.

Listen.

Take a breath.

Assess your situation.

Calm down.

Focus on your surroundings.

It’s okay.

Don’t blame yourself.

You did nothing wrong.

You will be okay, I promise.

Things can only get better.

You are worth it.

Nobody hates you.

You don’t need to argue.

You don’t need to be cruel.

You don’t need to taunt others just for their attention.

You don’t need to leave.

Because let me tell you:

You are needed.

You are loved.

I care.

You don’t deserve to die.

Death is not an escape.

Promises can be broken.

Promises will be broken.

You just have to learn how to put the pieces back together.

Learn to apologize.

Learn to forgive.

Don’t mislead others.

You are not a fuck up.

You are not a mistake.

You are not equivalent to cancer.

You have a purpose.

You deserve to stay, no matter what.

I love you guys.

Keep running, friend.

Because the future is bulletproof.

The aftermath is secondary.

Do it now and do it loud.

And make some goddamn noise.

Because your voice deserves to be heard.

So sing it out for the ones that you left behind.

Be awake unafraid.

Not asleep or dead.

Because you’ll never fucking die (I promise).

Stay true,

-Ari 🖤
