Gentle heart, you’re not alone. Right now it’s dark, and grim, and everything feels hopeless.
The ground has been twisted out from your feet, and you can’t make sense of the world around you. Even the freshest air is hard to inhale, and sometimes it feels like your suffocating on your own fear.
You feel numb and weak, and the idea of trying to pull yourself together makes you breakdown even more.
There’s nothing more you want than to isolate yourself and hide, because the “I’m okay” mask feels too heavy to wear. Your head hurts from wringing out every single tear that you’re trying so hard to hold in. Your body shakes and trembles with every thought that courses through your mind, trying to convince you that you’re a few steps closer to insanity.
I know you feel lost because I’ve been there, too. When the anxiety hits, it’s as if a massive storm has curled around you. You won’t know which way is forward, backward, up, or down. All of your senses will feel over-stimulated, and the world will feel as if it’s collapsing on your shoulders.
And I also know that everything is going to be okay. Even on the darkest days, your strength will never leave you. It might feel as if it’s completely disappeared, but it’s only sleeping deep within you. Even the strongest warriors need to rest. I can’t tell you enough how okay it is to not be okay right now. Just be kind to yourself. Let your heart ease a little. Let your soul have a little piece, even for a tiny moment.
Reach out. It’s okay to ask for help. It’ll be incredibly hard, because it feels as if no one will understand how it feels to have the shadows weigh you down every day. You’re going to be scared of how raw it feels to let people inside your thoughts and feelings. I know you’re going to worry about what they might think of you, how they might see you after they see all of your broken pieces. You’re going to be afraid of opening up, and being vulnerable because the last thing you want to do is become a burden. But I promise, you are not.
People love you, and care about you more than you can imagine right now. If you can believe in anything, believe in the magic that stirs inside of you. It courses through your body and soul, and it will never let you down. It’s who you are, and it holds the strength to get you through. I know it’s almost impossible to see through your stormy mind, but you have multiple lighthouses watching out for you. Just know this storm will end. The winds finally blow the clouds away, and the sun will kiss your face as you let your soul breathe again.
