Yes, you read that right. You matter, dear. No matter what they say, no matter what they may think, the only important thing is: you matter.
You matter as much as the stars in the night. As much as the waves in the ocean. And as much as the light touches the ground. You completely matter as do every living human being on this earth. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
And yes there may be times when you sit down and think about how difficult it is to deal with people who do not understand your situation, who do not know of the pain that you feel whenever your struggles interfere with your daily life. They do not know how much you are trying to be the best you can be. That you dream so much of becoming that 'better person', that you want out of your misery as much as they want you to be who they want you to be.
And yes, the line between reality and your dreams may seem to be blurry, but it doesn't have to be. You could turn your dreams into reality. Because you can. Because you matter. Because there will always be someone to tell you so. It could be your family, or friend, or stranger. You only need to listen. You matter, dear. You are a warrior and this is your battle.
