I’ve wrote this and erased it so many times.
I’ve been crying as I’m trying to type, trying to understand.
No fancy background or polished image for social.
Just a candle, in a raw and vulnerable moment. I’ve had this candle lit for two sweet, special souls who left this world. And all I can think of, is if they knew just how Worthy they were.
Two young girls. Weeks apart. Su***de.
I don’t know these young souls, I don’t know their story. But I do know the world is a little darker without them. I didn’t know them, but I feel a void. Our community is mourning.
The pain these sweet girls were feeling. The lies they were being told that they were better off gone than with us. Too young. The weight they were carrying.
I wish I could have shown them their life, if they just pushed past this what seemed to be impossible situation. I would promise them I understand. School can be hard. It feels like it’s forever. People can be cruel. But gosh, they were SO damn loved.
If I could show them who they would have married, what their kids would look like, the impact they made on the people around them. If I could show them their light they didn’t know they had. The world isn’t better off without them. We aren’t okay.
I know the pain seems too much, I know the voice in your head is loud and convincing. But it’s wrong. So damn wrong. This isn’t a permanent season. It’s temporary, but it feels permanent.
If you’re struggling, please call 988. It’s free, confidential. If that seems “not for me”, my door is always open. I’ll have coffee brewing and a shoulder for you to lean on. No judgment. Just a friend when you need it most that says “You don’t have to carry this alone, I’ll walk with you.”
You are so damn Worthy. Just as you are. People love you. Even if you don’t feel it right now, you are loved. You’re a precious soul destined for amazing things. This isn’t permanent. You’re one day closer to your redemption story.
I love you. I’m here for you- I mean it. 🤍
