My best friend in the entire world has saved my life in many ways. He was my main support while I lived in a household that made me want to rip out my hair and for the past 7 months I have struggled with mental health issues. This past year he left for college and it was hard for me. At his graduation party though, he brought me up to his room and sitting on the floor was a wrapped box and inside was a key with the word "Courage". I later asked him why "Courage" and he responded with, "The definition of courage is strength in the face of pain or grief. I know how strong you have been but I want you to know how strong I believe you are and how insanely proud I am of you after everything you have been through." I've never taken it off and am doing better than ever.
