Dear Dylan.

I'm not sure when you'll come over this. I'm really not sure. But I have a few things I'd like to make sure you know. First of all, you are far from on your own with this. I've been where you are. I've been in your exact situation, the difference was though, I didn't tell anybody. The way you can tell me about it, makes you stronger than me in that situation. I dealt with everything on my own. And that wasn't right of me. It wasn't fair to the people I surrounded myself with. I was never in a good mood & I began shutting everyone who cared out of my life. I lost sight of everything that mattered. I became intensely depressed and I kept all of this inside my head. The only place I ever told anything to was this blog right here. I wrote everything down.

I want you to know that people do care about you. If you decided to take action and do something about your depression, you'd be hurting many people. And while in your head it doesn't seem that way, you would. In your head honestly, you're probably thinking, "Good, it'll hurt her. Maybe she'll care if I'm not here.. Maybe she'll miss me. I just want to hurt her the way she hurt me." Trust me dude, I've so been there. But one day, I realized how much hurt and pain I would cause those around me.

Your life is precious. You only have one life to live and while no one can tell you how to live your life, others can help steer you on the right track. The way you're thinking right now isn't clearly. Like I said, I've been there. I've been exactly where you are.

Let me guess, you feel as if no one cares about you because the one person you love more than anything, just doesn't love you back. Yeah, I've been there too. But I'm here to tell you, it gets better. As cliche as that sounds, it's so true. As time goes on, your heart will heal and you will grow from that. You'll realize that you're always going to care about that person but it's time to stop letting them control your life. I want you to see that I got through this and if I can do it, so can you. I let someone control and mess with my feelings for almost a year. It was uncontrollable. I couldn't do anything about it. But you know what, I saw the light in someone else. I found happiness in other things besides this person.

I don't know if this helps any, but I really hope it does. I'd hate to see you make the biggest mistake of your life because you feel like no one cares. People care Dylan, and they always have. That girl cares about you, but you've gotta live off more than that. You've just got to.
