Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling right now, I know it feels as if your trapped and no one understands.
That’s a lonely, horrible feeling that I wish I had the power to make disappear…Unfortunately, I don’t.
But, know that this feeling does not last forever—even if you think you’ve hit rock bottom.
Once you’ve hit rock bottom, there’s no where to go but up…remember that!
Remind yourself that you are stronger than you know, that through the rough times you grow wiser, stronger, braver, and better.
Everyone goes through difficult times, so stop beating yourself up—stop asking why me?
You’re not alone and you never will be.
Even if you feel lost at times, know that life works in mysterious ways.
Maybe you have to get lost in order to be found—to find the path that’s right for you, and to understand what makes you happy.
There is so much good that arises from the bad, but during the “bad” it’s often hard to remember that.
It is not until after our struggles that we realize our victories…
So please, do not lose hope and do not give up.
Whatever you’re dealing with, you will get through it.
You’ll look back on it someday and realize, that without this rough patch you wouldn’t be the same person you were meant to be.
So don’t give up before you get the chance to say “I’m thankful for that hardship,” because I promise you… someday you will say it and someday you will be grateful.
But, in the meantime…
Take notice to the people that stick around and support you in this tough time.
Take notice to what brings you serenity in times of great stress.
Take notice to every time you let out a giggle and every time you feel a sense of relief.
Through this you discover— your true friends, your hobbies, your outlets, and your peace.
Hang in there! I know it’s hard but, I know you can do it.
Wishing you the best of luck.
And remember, I’m always here if you need me!
Stay strong,
xoxo Sam xoxo
