Never give up because there’s always at least one person out there that will understand

 “Never give up because there’s always at least one person out there that will understand”

I’ve always been strange. I went to see a psychologist that titled me as mentally ill, which then made me taboo, and on top of that had my video games and anime taken from me. I use to be a closet anime lover. My psychologist told my parents that it was evil,
saying they were what was wrong with me and not the very real people that were tormenting me.

I gave in to what others wanted and acted according to their whims to fit in. It caused me to almost lose myself. I questioned my existence. My confidence dropped. Nobody loved me… But more importantly, I didn’t love myself. I finally said “screw it!” and started gradually being myself once again. I stopped looking to fit in. I never found people that accepted me… But they sure found me. I have improved a lot but am still a work in progress.

What I want others to know is… love yourself first and then love everyone else because you never know who needs it. Accept them for what we ALL are, human. And never give up because there’s always at LEAST one person out there that will understand. Sometimes you just have to look through all of the fake smiles and pain to find them. But when you do, it’s worth it.

Trust me, I’m a girl that’s still surviving in this world.

The collar I’m wearing was for a cosplay I was going to do but I never ended up finishing it. It is a character, she became a pet for someone. I wear it around because I’m proud of it.

I love stuffed animals! I have a lot… Hmm… I would have to say my first Build-A-Bear, Grunty the Pig. He inspired me so much. It all started when I would hold him after a long day of dealing with things and he would calm me down and allow me to think clearly. He has helped me a lot.
