so someone at school made a racist comment and i've been feeling ****ing ****ty recently (ive only just recovered from anaemia which was because i hated the way i looked in general so i posted a half-suicide note on facebook encouraging people to not stunt others' growths and while i was looking for ways to go my phone started pinging like mad and there were like 7 beautiful comments from all these lovely people telling me how beautiful and strong i was and not to let me down and one of my personal heroes who is understudying two of the lead roles in the phantom u.s tour commented saying
"Tell em, Ruth. Good for you. You ARE growing. You couldn't see the bigger picture, like you already do, and have expressed here - if you weren't EXPANDING. Growth can hurt. Don't let the hurt become the definition of how you see yourself. To me and many, you are beautiful. Don't let someone steal your sunshine or take up rent-free space in your peaceful head!! xx" and that plus all the other comments made me cry with happiness because it made me realise people do care about me and believe in me-i just didn't believe in myself.
p.s: i was not overreacting, i've been dealing with this type of **** almost daily now and that was the straw that broke the camel's back
