Nights.

Nights, oh, nights. Nights are hard, right? 

Nights sometimes are way too long. You want to sleep, you're exhausted, tired, but you can't sleep at all. Your mind decided it was the moment to start over thinking every single decision you've made in your entire life. You start thinking too much that you come to a point where all you want to do is lay down and cry. You feel like a failure, like you can't do anything right, you just hate yourslelf. You wish you could turn back time and fix all the mistakes you ever did. 

Well, it that happens only one night, it's not that bad. But, what if that happens every night? What if you've been feeling that every night for a long time? That hurts. That feels horrible, and you start to get tired of that.

In some of those nights, you start to wonder some things, some really bad ones sometimes. You feel so alone, and you feel like nobody cares about you. Everyone's sleeping or, if they're awake, they're doing other stuff. You feel like you could disappear and they wouldn't even notice. They wouldn't care. 

But that's not true. That's what night, what pain does to us. Pain blind us and makes us think things that aren't true. 

In the darkest nights, remember to let the light in. You're not alone in those dark nights. Right now, you might be feeling as I described, and so are a lot of people out there. They're hiding their pain, just like you. 

Take care, stay strong.

"I'm sorry for annoying you"

Since I've been trying to help people online for a while now, there's something that most people say when they're telling you about their problems: "I'm sorry for annoying you". And I wanted to explain you all something. 

First of all, I totally understand it. I'm the first one who says that, when I'm telling someone about my problems I usually say that, so I get why people say that. Sometimes you just don't know if the person you're talking to just doesn't want to listen or whatever. 

However, when I say on twitter, tumblr, ask.fm, here, or wherever I say it, that I'm here for you, I mean it. I'm not going to get tired of listening to you. You're not going to annoy me, it doesn't annoy me to listen to people's problems. I'm not going to say "stop, you're annoying me". I'd never say that. If I see a message, I'll answer it. If I take long to reply is because I haven't seen it, not because I hate you or whatever, no. I want to help people, and I'll always try my best. 

I can't go and fix all your problems, and, believe me, I wish I could. But, I'll be there for you. I won't leave. Please, don't ever be afraid of talking to me because you think you're annoying me. It breaks my heart that some people think that, because you're never annoying me at all. I need you to believe that. 

I know how much it hurts to suffer alone, and I don't want any of you to have to go through whatever you're going through alone. So, my advice is that you should open up. If you don't have anyone around you, I'm here 24/7. 

Love you all. 

Bad days.

We all have bad days. Some people have more bad days, and other people have less bad days. But, after all, everyone has bad days. 

Some people are lucky and have bad days maybe once a week, or just not very often. Maybe they do have bad days often but they have no troubles when it comes to face bad days. 

But, what happens when you have a bad day over and over? It really feels like every single day is a bad one. It feels like you can't spend a single day being completely happy. It feels like you can't have a single good day. And that's something exhausting. You feel tired of feeling bad over and over. You feel like you'll never have a good day again. 

Sometimes, you come to a point when all you want to do is to give up. You ask yourself: "what's it all worth?". You don't know what else to do. Everything feels like falling apart. Nothing's right. Everything's wrong. You tell yourself you're ready to give up. 

But, even when everything's like that, it's not the end. Why? Because, there'll be a day when everything will shine again. You'll have those good days you'd been waiting for. You'll realize that this fight had always been worth it. You'll realize how much you'll appreciate the good things in life. You'll realize that you learned something, and that you became stronger. 

Stop focusing in the bad things in life. Focus on the good things, and everything will feel different. Stay strong, keep fighting. And, no matter what, never give up. All of this is worth it.

Are you alone?

The answer is no. I know sometimes you just feel like you’re all alone and that people don’t really give a fuck about you. I'm sorry for swearing, but that's what we all feel sometimes, isn't it? 

Sometimes you just feel like you could disappear and no one would notice, no one would care. Sometimes you feel like if you died, nobody would even miss you. Guess what? That isn’t true. Sadness and pain make us all think and feel certain things that aren’t true at all. People do care about you, more than you can even imagine, sometimes… sometimes they just need time to show it. Even if they don’t show it, I promise you there’s people who care about you. Anyway, I’m here to tell you I do care, and I’m a person.

The way you feel, you’re not the only one who feels like that. We all kinda go through the same things in life. You’re not alone, stay strong x

Don't miss it.

Don’t miss your chance. You’re here, alive. 

You, reading this, what are you waiting for? You have dreams, don’t you? I bet there’s something you want to do with your life, your future (I mean something good). Maybe you want to become a musician, an actor, a writer, a youtuber, a doctor, or whatever you want to be. But I bet that reading that, you've thought about something you want to do. And, imagining that becoming true feels good, doesn't it? Imagining something won't make it true though.

Why don’t you do it? Why don't you start working on that, or keep working on that if you already started? Why don’t you fight for your dreams? You might think your dreams are impossible, but they are not. The only thing that can stop you from them is yourself. If you want to make your dreams true, go fight for them! 

Don’t let anyone put you down, don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, and if they do, prove them wrong. I believe in you, even though I don’t even know who you are. I believe you’re capable to make your dreams. And you should too.

Someone out there...

Sometimes the world feels like a place full of people but with no soul, I know. But in 7000 million people, I'm 100% sure that there's someone out there who cares about you. I don't even know you and I care about you, so imagine how many people actually care about you. 

Give them time to show you that they care. Sometimes we are just afraid to tell people how much we care about them. 

Someone out there loves you. Someone out there needs you. Someone out there can't live without you. You mean the world to someone out there. Someone out there would die for you. Someone out there would do anything just to make you smile. You might be the reason why someone out there is alive right now. You might be the reason why someone out there is holding on. 

Remember that.

Is it okay to keep everything to yourself?

I think that most people keep everything to themselves, and I do believe that it isn't right. I mean, I'm not criticizing it or something like that, not at all. What I mean is that you won't really get anything good from that. 

I don't think it is okay. Why? I personally think that keeping all your problems, all your feelings... to yourself only makes what was a small problem, a bigger one. I'm sure that there's someone out there who is willing to listen to your problems. Don't think it's wrong to talk to someone about your problems, because, hey, nobody's life is perfect. We all have problems and stuff we go through, but everything would be easier if every person could trust someone to talk about their problems. We all sometimes need someone to talk to, and it's okay to ask someone for help, or basically ask them to listen. That's okay. 

I talk from experience when I tell you that keeping everything to yourself won't help you at all and will only make everything way worse. 

If you feel like no one around you cares or that nobody is there for you, I'm being 100% honest when I say I'm always here for everyone of you. I don't care when or who or why. If I receive a message in any of my social networks, I'll always answer as soon as I can. I know I've said this a lot in different places, but I hate it when people have to suffer alone, and I want to do everything that I can to help. 

I'm no therapist, but I will listen and I care. If you only want to vent and don't want a reply, tell me that and I won't reply. But I'll listen and I'll stay there as long as you need. I don't mind it staying up all night to help someone, or just to listen, and I say that from the bottom of my heart.

Take care, 

you're not alone. 

Hope.

Everyone talks much about “hope”. They all say you have to keep hoping for the best no matter what. Everyone says you can never lose hope. 

But, what is really hope? Do we know what hope is, or are we only saying a word like the others? 

Hope is that small light in the darkness. Hope is that little smile among all those tears. Hope is that small excitement among all the disappointment. Hope is that good feeling among all the pain. Hope is what keeps you going when everything goes down and it feels like it will never get better. 

People say that the last thing you lose in life is hope. I have to admit they might be right, because if you lose hope, that's when it feels like you have nothing left to live for. 

Sometimes it feels like you've really lost all hope, but you really haven't. Why? Because somewhere deep inside you, you're hoping everything will get better. Deep inside you you know there's a chance for you, that things will not always be like that. Deep inside you you want to keep fighting for your dreams, and you know you can make them true. 

Don't waste your time, go ahead. Pick that hope, and with that and a smile on your face, fight for your dreams. Because the only person that can do that is you.
