R U OK? · 11:00am Sep 11th, 2014
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?

Not a holiday, more of day nominated by Beyond Blue, an organisation that helps sufferers of depression, in Australia. Has been around for at least 3 years (I think?).
