There are times in our lives where we experience things that make us feel isolated and lonely, it feels as though life isn’t worth the effort. There is no magical light at the end of the tunnel there is just darkness. Maybe some days you paint on a smile to fool other people into believing that you are happy. You don’t want to hurt them by letting them in on the painful truth, or maybe you don’t want them to have to worry about you. There are only so many times that you can say the same thing to your loved ones. Maybe you feel that you have overburdened them, maybe they don’t know what to say to you anymore. Don’t give up trying because no matter how bleak it seems now, life is worth living, the battle may be hard, but you will overcome it, you will triumph. There are so many things that you can do, places to explore, experiences to be had.
If you read this and you know me, know I am always there for you. I will never tire of hearing what you have to tell me. I will never judge you or be impatient with you. I know what it feels like to feel that the fight is too much. I have also discovered many joyful experiences since then that I am so glad I got to see, feel, touch, hear. Just remember when you feel at your lowest that you have someone who wants to listen.
