Days when waking up feels painful, and when facing the world seems like a chore.
You may feel like something is missing, like you have been hollowed out.
Your mind may feel exhausted, and your soul may be tired… too tired to face the world.
Julia Kuzenkov
Im not even going to tell you to have a good day.
Because the truth is, its not a good day.
Your heart isnt in it and your thoughts are too low.
Its a heavy day.
And its okay to acknowledge this.
What I am here to tell you is that its okay to feel emotionally drained and hurt.
Its okay to feel empty and down, lonely and discouraged.
Its okay to sink into the pain rather than trying to ride the waves.
Its okay if you cant move mountains today or tomorrow or even the next day.
its okay if all you do today is sit with your feelings and breathe.
Because maybe today isnt about feeling better.
Maybe today is just about surviving.
I know this because nothing ever lasts forever.
The pendulum always swings back and forth.
Feelings and emotions come and go.
Hard times eventually break and the sun always pushes through the clouds once again.
I am here to reassure you that in time, things will get better.
I cant promise you that tomorrow will feel better than today.
But I can tell you that life does get better, and that life will not fail you.
I can promise you that one day, you wont be so afraid.
One day, you wont feel so alone.
Because you are brave and strong, and you are never alone.
it’s possible for you to feel sad and bad and down and still make it through.
you’re able to experience heartbreak and still heal.
You have the strength inside of you to make it through these days.
You have the courageous heart of a lion and the kind soul of a lamb.
So hold on and focus on surviving.
hey sit through the storms.
yo do whatever you’re gonna wanna make it out on the other side.
Because I promise, you absolutely will.
