Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

STOP. READ THIS.

You are all amazing beings. Lately I've heard some CBers saying not-good things about themselves, and they are just wrong. So for anyone who feels like they're worthless or everyone hates them or they will never amount to anything, I have something important for you. 

YOU

ARE

AN

AMAZING

PERSON.

Pause. Let that sink in. Read it four or five times. Okay, now the next one.

YOU 

WILL

BECOME

SOMETHING

GREAT.

Read that one four or five times, until it's burned into your brain. M'kay, now the last one.

YOU

ARE

LOVED.

Short and sweet. I want you to just read that over and over until at least one minute has elapsed. Cry, smile, do whatever. Now stand up and give yourself a big hug, ignore the person that's giving you weird looks. They don't know how awesome you are. Go give them a hug, maybe, but you don't have to if you don't want to. 

Now read this whole thing again, just to make sure it's made an impact. Okay? You should be feeling a little better about yourself by now. If you don't, you should give yourself another hug. Maybe ask for a random out-of-context hug from your parents or siblings, if they'll give it. Go dig up a long-forgotten stuffed animal and hug that. 

If you are ever feeling like you aren't worth being a person, or anything remotely related to that, come/go tell someone. Pm me on nanowrimo, I'll gladly give encouragement. This is a safe place to talk about your feelings. Then go spread some love to others. Give someone a random out-of-context homemade gift. Put a sticky note on somebody's laptop telling them how awesome they are. Come back and read this if you don't really want any human interaction. And remember, you are an amazing human being. Or Mars being. Or inter-dimensional traveler. Or bunny rabbit, or whatever you want to be. 

Peace out, ur awesome! <3 

(Admins this goes for you too)
