Today, we are all discussing the theme of suicide. At least, I hope we'll all take a moment to think about that. Today is World Suicide Day. I do think about it, because I had to deal with it myself.
Not feeling good enough, feeling inferior, always feeling that no matter what you do, it will never be enough.
A mental struggle that I have fought for years due to an intensive past of bullying. Why I was bullied is still unclear. Was it because of my red hair? Was it because I was a little tougher than most of the other girls in the class? Or did I simply not fit the perfect picture?
At least it scarred me for the rest of my life. It has helped me to lose a part of my own identity that is difficult to find.
In fact, the bullying was so bad that it not only resulted in inner scars, but ultimately also external scars. By the time I was 14 years old, I had already made a number of different suicide attempts because I didn't want to give myself life anymore.
The fact that I'm still here is probably because I didn't even feel well enough to leave life. The attempts I made all took too long, did not quickly produce the results I was hoping for back then. Even before that, I wasn't good enough.
I recovered because I met people who were ultimately able to see me as the person I wanted to be and nothing else. That has helped immensely. I learned to trust them, and found the strength to finally share my story with them. They listened to me, saw me and understood me. Nothing is harder than being unseen, unheard, and misunderstood in situations like this.
It would be nice if, as a society, we could ask the other person more often how the other person is really doing. Really taking the time to listen and see the other person. I especially hope that with my message I can encourage people to find someone in your area that you trust to talk to if you experience thoughts of suicide.

Begrijp niet waarom jonge mensen een andere jonge mens zo wreed moeten behandelen. Dat ze niet beseffen hoe erg dit wel is voor de persoon waarbij je dit veroorzaakt.
Het is echt spijtig dat mensen niet liefdevoller met elkaar kunnen omgaan
Dat mensen elkaar niet kunnen aanvaarden zoals ze zijn.
Een beetje anders zijn dan een ander is al voldoende om aan het pesten te gaan.
Mensen kunnen echt wel wreed zijn
