Dear Zoe,

You have a purpose on this earth. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t even be here in the first place. You’re young, so you haven’t found it yet, but stay alive and you will. You think people wouldn’t care if you died? Think again. Your parents would be devastated. Their daughter, gone. Your teachers, relatives, friends, including me, would care. We may not show it all the time, but we care so much. 

I know how things are rough right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be like that forever. Things do get better and I promise you that. Just smile and show the world how strong you are. People are here for you if you ever need a shoulder to lean on. We love and care for you. Don’t ever doubt that. Stay strong a little bit longer. I’m not saying it’ll be easy, but it’ll definitely be worth it.
