Three years ago today you said something about procrastinating on your school work.
Four years ago today you were worried about that test.
I'd just like to share with you something I posted three years ago today.

Is it worth it?
Is life worth all of this?
Day after day we hear stories of adults killing kids and kids killing adults and people killing other people over petty things like the color of their skin or the amount of money in their purse or who they ate breakfast with this morning while you were still sleeping.
Also, the small, killings that happen every day that the media forgets. Like the stab wound left after you get embarrassed by the teacher in front of the whole class. Or the tiny but deadly hole gouged out every day during lunch when you only have your pb&j sandwich to talk to. Or the deaths of children around the world who have decided to live their life without feeling anything because feeling is too painful and going numb is so much easier than dealing with heartache every day.

Is life worth suffering?
Answer the question only in the very early mornings when you are warm in your bed and you are watching the sunrise. Only when you get an A on the test you studied hard for. Only when you are with your friends and watching a movie and you all laugh at the very same time so it sounds like one giant laugh.
Because when bad things happen, we forget about the good in the world. We forget about our favorite books and songs and movies and colors and sounds and foods.

Don't forget about the good things.
Because life is worth it.
You are worth it.

This wasn't about diabetes at the time. I had a lot of friend problems when I was younger. I had a lot of emotional pain I was going through.
Honestly, I'm in a good place these days. Even with all of this.
