TRIGGER WARNING: Self Harm and Suicide

TRIGGER WARNING: Offensive Language

-------------------------------------------

I remember the day my friends and family found out I liked guys. I felt like an outcast. 

"Perv!"

"Fag!"

"God has a special place in Hell for you!"

"Gonna go find a guy to do?"

Eventually, it became too much for me. Blades and knives took away my pain, and made me forget my sorrows. Maybe people were right. I was disgusting. Shortly after I came out to my parents, they kicked me out. My friends left me, and rumors spread around my school about me. Everyday, I'd wake up and want to jump off a bridge. I was miserable.

However, I met someone that changed my life for the better. One night, I was walking to the gas station, and some asshole started harrassing me because of my sexuality. I threw my bags down on the ground, and ran to the nearest bridge in town. I had nothing to lose. Nobody cared about me. Everyone at school would laugh at my funeral. 

I climbed the fenced area around the edge of the bridge and I stood on the edge, prepping to jump. But then, I heard a voice behind me:

"Hey! Dude, please! Don't do this!"

It was a dude, dressed in plain black jeans. He looked sweaty, and his hair was wet. He had most likely just gotten back from the gym. I couldn't help but just stare at him. He was perfect. He was sexy, and he cared about me, a random dude.

"Nobody likes me. All because I like guys, everyone treats me like a monster," I could feel tears dripping down my face. "I just wish I was normal!"

"I felt the same way when I came out," the guy said back to me. He extended a hand to me. "I know it's difficult, I know it's hard, but you WILL and CAN get through it! People will drag you down no matter what you do in life! But you'll get through it! Please don't jump. Just let me help you!"

And I gave in and let him help me. I've never regretted that decision. I learned that the man's name that helped me was Night. He was also gay, and was judged for who he was too. And he helped me, and became my one and only. 

Don't be ashamed of who you are or who you love. People that truely care about you will stay by your side no matter what. Your parents don't need to stay in contact with you if they don't accept you for who you are. You're loved, and cared about! Please, always remember that! :)
