This world can be so painful.
There is heartbreak and mistrust, broken promises and defeat.
There are moments when we fall victim to vices, spinning wildly out of control.

There are days when we just want to give up.
And yet, we have to remember that there is hope, even in all the loss.
That there is beauty, even in all the brokenness.
That there is strength to be found in the moments we are the lowest, or most vulnerable.
We must remember that we are somebodys someone.
And so deserving of life and love.

And when we are broken, we must cling to this:We matter.To the people who love us.
To the ones who raised us.
To the friends that will forever have our backs.

To the people whose lives we touch.
To the strangers who may not know us, and yet still feel connected to our struggle.
We are not alone.
In her song, Somebodys Someone, singer Daphne Willis expresses this feeling.
The open line of Somebodys Someone is, bright light on the corner of a dark street.
This is a reminder to all of us.
We are capable of being bright, even in our lowest moments.
Her song is an expression of her experiences with mental illness and addiction.
We dont have to face all our demons alone.
Sometimes when were discouraged, hopeless, tired, we think that were a burden to others.
Through hermusic, Willis seeks to empower people as she continues to fight forward in her journey.
And I think we need to see them in more of a positive light they dont become so dark.
And her words speak truth to all of us.
Sometimes when were down, we find ourselves lost in a spiral in our own heads.
We believe that we dont have the ability to rise from the place were in.
We quickly forget all that weve overcome.
And we find ourselves wanting to seclude ourselves, rather than reach out for help.
Which is our biggest mistake.
And shes absolutely right.
We all have battles were fighting, demons were facing, challenges were working to overcome.
Some of us have these days less frequently than others.
We are all somebodys someone.
We are all loved and supported by family, friends, and strangers.
We are all worthy of happiness, of support, of better days.
