Happy Birthday!

I am so glad that you're happy that you've made it to this birthday!

I say, screw the rain. At least it'll be warm-ish rain. (just don't ruin your new camera in the rain...)

But have a fantabulous day!

Thank you so much for the well wishes!! Each day I wake up is a blessing (even though most of the time I have to remind myself of that fact!) and it is my responsibility to use it to the fullest! I don't know how many more birthdays I will have, so I want to make this one truly memorable!

I can't tell you how nice it is to read this...all my life I have known that I'll probably die young too...and I have always feared that I'd be the one ending my own life. I do the same things you once did...starve and cut myself up. I'm 17 years old, and utterly scared for my future. But reading this post, this one post has made me hopeful.
Thank you for that...I hope I can be in your position one day.

Be encouraged! I wish I knew at 17 what I know now. Had I died in high school, I would have missed out on some of the greatest years of my life. I know you probably won't believe this, but my 30's are SO much better than my teens and twenties were. With age comes wisdom, and you are reaching a time in your life when you can actively apply that wisdom. Don't allow the stress in your life to rob you of an inspired future. You have many gifts to offer the world and if you were to die early, it would truly be a loss. Keep fighting! You are not alone...I swear! :)
