Isn’t life suppose to me awesome?

All my friends…they seem so happy. I appear to be the odd one out, I am quiet, lonely, ugly and sad.

Today I did not see a reason to get out of bed. “Why not stay in bed all day today?” No one will notice or care. I turned on my phone to see if anyone has messaged me, to see if anyone had missed me. Not one single message.

Wouldn’t it awesome to be happy? I didn’t see why to stay on earth anymore, I just wanted peace. After a long time of holding back I decided it was time… time to say goodbye to this earth.

I posted a picture on Snapchat of me holding a gun next to my head to see if anyone would care.

I waited 20 minutes, no texts. That’s it, it was time.

I was loading my gun when suddenly I hear my front door slam open and a voice screaming “DANIELA!!!”, It was my cousin. She ran toward me and said “Drop the gun; I’m here for you. I saw your story on Snapchat and zoomed to your house. I love you and care for you, please stay.”

I hugged her and started crying more than I ever had. Crying and thankful that someone cared enough to come all the way to my house and prevent me from doing this. We stood there for 10 minutes hugging each other, crying and not letting go.

From that day on I started attending therapy, a support group and I was healing and working toward happiness everyday.

Sometimes all we need is someone to be there for us. To show us they care to hold us down to earth.
