Another great submission for this week’s Collective: a quote that inspires hope in you or that you think would inspire hope in others.
You are important and worth so much more than giving up on yourself, your life, hope, and love. It will get better, you may not see any light now but continue to push through even when it seems impossible because you are worth it. You are loved and valued, you are more than what you have done or what has happened to you.

OH MY GOD
IT’S LIKE LOOK
LOOK I DID IT
BE PROUD OF ME
Be proud of the things you accomplish, no matter how small.

“Once the difference between light and dark had been basic. One good, one bad. Suddenly, though, things weren’t so clear. The dark was still a mystery, something hidden, something to be scared of, but I’d come to fear the light, too. It was where everything was revealed, or seemed to be. Eyes closed, I saw only the blackness, reminding me of this one thing, the most deep of my secrets; eyes open, there was only the world that didn’t know it, bright, inescapable, and somehow, still there.”
