Please don't kill yourselves.

I know, that is so, so much easier said than done.

And if you're suicidal right now, I know that nothing I say can convince you to stay. But I implore you to anyways because you deserve to live.

But I need you all to know that I was there just a few months ago. For 2 years of my life on and off I've been struggling with suicidal ideations, mostly due to the political environment.

I am going to live through this despite my past, despite how much my soul screams for release from the torture I feel just existing everyday. You know why?

Because I deserve to live, and YOU do too. I deserve to feel happiness, even just the tiniest amount I get from watching my favorite show or petting my dog, and you do too.

If nothing else, live for those moments. If nothing else, live for the people in your lives that you love. If nothing else, live for your community. If nothing else, live for future generations who need to know we exist. If nothing else, live out of spite. If nothing else, live because they WANT you to die, do NOT let them take the life that is rightfully yours.

I am alive right now because I didn't want them to win. And I am alive right now because there are and there will be people who need me, to know I exist, and that I'm like them.

Keep fighting, this is your ONLY life, your ONLY chance, your ONLY existence. You will not get another one, you HAVE to live through this, you HAVE to keep fighting even if you can't stand it.

I BELIEVE in you. I LOVE you. You are a GOOD PERSON and deserve EVERYTHING. And I am so, so sorry that the world is like this right now, but if you (yes, the person reading this, YOU) kill yourself, they win.

The national Suicide Hotline (in America) is 988, please use it if you need to.

Please reblog this, it needs to be spread, and liking alone won't accomplish that.

Hi, I can't share my name, however, you can refer to me as Cervidae. I am a young queer person living in the United States, and I will be perfectly clear, things are shit right now. Things are bad, and they WILL get worse. But I'm not giving up hope, not until I'm 6 feet under. I implore you to read this post, please.

My current mission is to save as many queer stories as possible and stockpile them. I will make them into a book, and I will sell that book to anyone who will buy it, and any profits made from that will be given to charities.

We CANNOT let our stories die. We can't let the next generations of queer people think that they're all alone, because they will NEVER be. No matter what place, no matter what people, we're there, we always have been.

Currently I am working on my own, but I have plans to get more people on board while I still can, such as starting a go fund me (All profits will go to this project and no where else).

So please, my fellow queers, my community, my siblings, my kin, send me your stories. You can choose how much information you give me, you can tell me whether or not you want your username shared or not, and I want to make this clear, you can be completely anonymous. You can vent as much or as little as you want. You can send me stories spanning as many messages as you need, or you can send me something as small as "I am queer", it will all go in.

I'm doing this because I refuse to be forgotten, and for my community to be forgotten. We will live through this, we WILL, and we will be remembered.

I love you all so very, very much. We can't let ourselves be forgotten, we must push forward and live through this, from the oldest to the youngest of us.

No matter your race, religion, place of birth, age, or ANYTHING else, you are queer, you are a queer human, and you deserve to be heard, even if it's just in this book.

Please reblog.

-Love, Cervidae
