I want to share a beautiful project called Reasons to Stay.
The website, ReasonsToStay.co.uk, is a living archive of hope. The project was created in memory of Sam West, a young man who died by suicide in 2018. Following his passing, his family and supporters wanted to create a space that offered the kind of immediate, gentle connection that might help someone in their darkest hour.
It’s a space where you're immediately presented with an anonymous "letter of hope"—reminders of the tiny, everyday things that make life worth living. The letters are written and shared by people from all over the world. It’s a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are connected, we are heard, and there are a million small reasons to keep going. 🤍
You also have the opportunity to write a letter of your own. Each submission is reviewed and may be edited before it is published.
If you or someone you know is feeling heavy today, or just needs a little light, I highly recommend taking a look.
If you want to reach out and provide hope to someone struggling, please consider contributing.
...supervision matters.
