You are human. When you are hurting, tell yourself this. You are only human. You are not made up of iron that refuses to break. You are not made up of concrete that withstands strong storms.

You are not made up of bricks that refuse to fall even during the darkest of hurricanes. You are allowed to feel. You are allowed to take a break.

Because you are only human.

You are human. When you are feeling sick with heartache, tell yourself this. You are only human. You have one brain, one heart, two hands, and two legs.

You were made to produce salty tears when your heart feels too weak to keep on going. You were made to feel with every bone in your body.

You were made to ache with loneliness. You were made to feel everything that is terrible and everything that is beautiful.

Because you are only human.

You are human. When you feel like you can not go on any longer, when you feel like you can not live another day, please remember this.

You are only human. You break, you bleed, you bend, and you crack open. But know this.

You are made up of water, of the sea, that can drown the most terrible of feelings. You are made up of currents that can cleanse your soul of your darkest thoughts.

Because you are human.

You are so much more than that. While your bones and heart can break, while your lungs can weaken and your muscles can grow weary of this life, your heart still beats. Your cells will still be reborn.

Your lungs will still move in and out, no matter how tired you have become. Your bones will heal on their own, slowly but surely. And your body will begin again.

Because you are human.

Your body will keep working, even when you do not want it to. Your body will keep you awake, even when you just want to sleep forever.

And your body will keep cheering you on, even when your heart has dropped to the ground in despair.

So when you feel like you can not keep walking, when you feel like life is not worth living, and when you think that you are not worth another day on this Earth, just remember that you are human.

Remember that you are mighty. You are a vision of strength and endurance even when you feel like throwing the towel.

Remember that you are beautiful, you are beautiful with all of your flaws and insecurities, even if you can not see it.

Sweet human, you are a miracle, because you are here, breathing in this air and this life. You are nothing short of perfection, because you are you.

And you must know, that you are worthy of waking up each day, and breathing in this beautiful and crazy World.

Because you are human.

You are stronger because you are human. You are stronger because you have strengths and weaknesses, and you have insecurities. You are stronger because you can break, and still get up the next day.

You are stronger because you can die, and be reborn again. And you are stronger because you wake up each day and continue to climb this moutain that is your life.

Because you are human.

Do not stop climbing. Do not stop breathing. Do not stop living. Keep on going. Keep on walking. Do not stop trying.

You are worth today. You are worth tomorrow. You are worth a beautiful life. You are worth giving yourself the best shot to do more, to be more, and live a better life.

Because you are human.
