about

In 2010 at the age of 13, I attempted suicide. Life was shit, I felt shit, and I thought the world would be a better place if I wasn't around. Now in the month that I turn 26, I wrote this letter to my younger self, what I wish I heard back then, and what I hope those who need it can hear now.

lyrics

I know how you're feeling, I've been there before
The world's just weighing you down and you don't think you can take much more
But I need you to listen, it's long overdue
Though it's hard to conceive these words I know are true

You're loved more than you'll ever believe
You bring joy even if you don't see it
And though it's hard to come by there's joy you'll feel

You'll find love and you're gonna lose it
The friends you make will ease the bruises
It sounds confusing but soon it will be clear
I'm so glad you're still here

When you feel like a monster, know it's all in your head
You have caused pain but it's outweighed by all the good you bring
In that heart lies good intentions, sometimes folks lose sight of that
But if you leave they would grieve and plead to bring you back

'Cos you're loved more than you'll ever believe
You bring joy even if you don't see it
And though it's hard to come by there's joy you'll feel

Savour your friends every moment near them
Words of support though you don't quite hear them
And in the morning I'll tell you with words sincere
I'm so glad you're still here

You matter, you matter, even though you disagree
You matter, you matter, there's better days you're yet to see

You're loved more than you'll ever believe
You bring joy even if you don't see it
And though it's hard to come by there's joy you'll feel

Cos you'll look back on your younger self
And wish you knew how to call for help
To navigate when life is hard to steer
When times are hard you'll persevere
And you'll see after all these years
I'm so glad you're still here
