R U OK? · 10:54pm Sep 11th, 2013
Today in Australia it is R U OK Day! It is a day where depressed and lonely people are acknowledged, and we (the people of Australia), are encouraged to ask the people we know, are they doing ok?
So my question to you is R U OK?
If you are feeling sad, hopeless, alone or depressed, please seek help, because each and every one of you is more loved and cared for, than you could ever imagine!
As our lives move forward, different people come into our lives, and just maybe, your new best friend, and one day your soul mate, will magically appear, and you won't even remember this time now, as your life fills with joy, love and happiness!
My gift to you, which I am physically unable to do, as I don't think any of you should give anyone on any Internet site your identifying details, is a purple pen! Purple is a powerful colour, it reminds us of beauty and strength, and that someone believes in you, even if it is someone way, way, away in Australia. I write with a beautiful purple pen, (and I also have an awesome bright pink one for contrast), that reminds me to stay strong, and many people comment on my pens. However, it reminds me that I can get through another day, and things are so much better when written in purple! Writing in bright pink just makes me happy!
It is my secret strength when times are tough, that I can do it, even if it is just get through this day!
I would also love you to buy a couple of extra purple pens, and give them to your parents, or to someone at school, even anonymously, with a note that says how happy you are that they are in your life! Imagine if you received a pen with a note like that! Would that make a difference to you? Well be that person, the one that makes a difference, and I would like you, to let me know, how you felt doing it for someone else, and if the purple pen helps you!
R U OK?
Actually it is on September the 12th, it is 8.30am here, so I am in front of you by quite a few hours!
I am doing quite fine, thank you.
All I need to do is study hard for these upcoming exams and I'll be doing well.
I should get myself a purple pen soon…

Get it as soon as you can, it has magic powers! Glad you are ok, study hard, and keep me updated by how you are doing!
1343239 Yes ma'am.
I'm fine. Thanks for asking, though depression is a constant visitor lounging around as if he thinking of moving in. Sometimes I need to company that I need to understand what ales me. Sometimes I plead for it so go wanting to add force to my will. I'm tired, but I'll never give up the fight. Even if it's with myself.

Remember to get your purple pen! It makes an enormous difference, even if you just hold it! Get help when you need it, it is not a fight you need to do alone.
I miss Matt so much...
