"It does not count if you believe in yourself when it's easy to believe in yourself. It does not count if you believe the world can be a better place when the future looks bright. It does not count if you think you're going to make it when the finish line is right in front of you.
It counts when it's hard to believe in yourself, when it looks like the world's going to end and you've still got a long way to go.

That's when it counts. That's when it matters the most."

I know you didn't write this for me, I'm not the "you" in the "I Wrote This For You" but you help people through their days, and today you helped me. I wasn't sure how best to explain my feelings this afternoon but this is perfect. So, thank you. Thank you for giving me the words to explain to myself how I feel - all the time, it feels like I don't have the words I want so I just write and write and write until I come up with something I do want to say. But today, I tried to write out words to describe this afternoon's feelings. But - for now, these words are the words that I needed to hear, to say to myself, to say to anyone who is listening. I'm really trying to believe in myself - I'm really trying to believe in myself. It's hard. Because you're right, it isn't easy to believe in yourself when things aren't easy. I'm trying so hard to believe in myself but it would help if people believed in me, if I knew people believed in me. I'm sure if I asked them, some would say yes, some no and some wouldn't answer me - but I have to know which to believe. And I think I can only believe myself - I have to believe that I can do all that I want to do, despite it all. I have to believe in myself. I have to.
