What Did I Do

Stop scrolling.
Read this.
All of it.
If you've ever been hurt.
This right here.
This is for you.

We've all been hurt. Whether mentally or physically. Whether it's by abusive parents or by an unnecessary comment. Either way we've all been hurt. And even time someone we love leaves us, whether that's a parent or a friend, it leaves us wondering, 'what did I do?' 

     What did I do to deserve this. Where did I go wrong. Am I not good enough. We drown ourselves in these questions. Wondering what could I have done. As if, it's our fault. We stray from those who open there arms to us. We try to fill the emptiness our social lives bring. But when we try to fill it ourselves, it's never as full. It's never as much. We take our broken buckets and fill them over and over trying to fill the unavoidable abyss of despair that builds up inside us. But the holes spill water everywhere. We become unstable. And our emotions spill out. Still wondering. 'What did I do?'

      But instead of trying to find fault in ourselves, we should find fault in the ones that hurt us, leave us. Because if they left you, they lost someone amazing. Because your you. And there is no one like you in the entire world.

     There will always be haters. But if you look through the haters you find the open arms of those ready to help you fill that emptiness with full buckets, more then you could ever need. Others will always push you. Peer pressure is a real thing. But guess what. You never have to be what someone wants you to be. You don't even have to be who you are, you be, who you want to be. If you want to be a freaken rainbow potato. You by God go be the best rainbow potato there is and I'm right here behind you. 

      Never ever give up on your dreams. No matter how big they are. Anything is possible. The only time you won't be able to achieve something, is when you stop dreaming. Dreams carry humanity. Dreams brought us Television, phones, warmth. Without dreams we'd be a herd of lifeless beings. Everyone has a purpose. And whether you've found that yet or your still searching for it. You keep searching. Because I promise, if you don't give up, you will never have to fill that hole alone.

      So let's stand together. And look past the haters. And stop asking ourselves "what did I do." And let's start asking, "what can I do." 

     We rise together. We fall together. As one. Humans
