My name is Jose Aaron Castaneda but most people know me as Chepe. Since it’s the last day of Suicide Prevention Month, I decided to finally speak on something I really don’t talk about.

I’m not really the type to talk about my feelings or tell people when something is wrong. Most of the time I keep stuff to myself and keep going like nothing is happening.

I first started dealing with depression in 4th grade. I was insecure about my weight and looks, and I got bullied by some guys for being “fat and Mexican.” At that age it really got to me. I hated how I looked and felt like I didn’t belong. I remember praying to Jesus asking Him to make me skinnier, look better and make everything okay and stop the judging . When things didn’t change, I lost hope and stopped believing in Him for a while.

As I got older I fought through a lot of it, but I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes, hurt people and done things I regret, and sometimes that made me feel like a terrible person. And I started getting control of my anger issues , even when people hurt me physical or mentally I tend to forgive others because that’s what Jesus would’ve wanted .

Early this year I felt like I hit a dead end. I struggled with severe anxiety, stress, regret and fear about the future. I was close to graduating but instead of being excited, I was scared of what came next. I started drinking and using drugs to numb what I was feeling, and there were times I didn’t even want to see myself make it to graduation.

But I’m still here and don’t worry I won’t leave till God says it’s my time 🕺. I graduated, and got baptized end of 2025 and found my way back to Jesus. I started praying again and asking Him for help. Things slowly got better. I was blessed with a welding job, I’ve been working, making my money and building a better future for myself.

Life still isn’t perfect, but I’m in a much better place now and I’m thankful I kept going.

Thank you to all my friends and family who have been there for me. I love you all and appreciate y’all more than you know. :)

It does get better.

To all the friends I met, loved, and grew up with over these four years thank you will never be enough. It feels unreal that this chapter is ending, that the halls we walked every day and the moments we thought would last forever are now memories. From the first awkward days to the friendships that became family, you all shaped who I am in ways I’ll carry for the rest of my life. We laughed until it hurt, cried when things got heavy, and somehow made it through everything together. You were there for my best days and my worst ones, and I’ll always be grateful for the love and patience you gave me along the way.

Now we’re all stepping into the future, and that’s the hardest part knowing our lives are about to change in ways we can’t fully imagine yet. Some of us will chase dreams far from here, some will stay close, and some paths will slowly drift apart, even if our hearts don’t want them to. We won’t see each other every day anymore, and that hurts more than I can explain. But I hope one day we look back and smile, knowing we grew into who we were meant to be.

I pray that God blesses every single one of you with protection, purpose, and success, and that life gives you everything you’ve ever worked for. No matter how far we go or how much time passes, a part of my heart will always be tied to you and to these four years. This isn’t a goodbye it’s a thank you and see you soon, and a promise to always remember us. 🤍🙏 by @txchepe
