Im here to tell you, your pain is valid.
Your suffering is worth consolation.
Your brokenness does not translate to worthlessness.

Honestly, you may not even know how to make sense of it yourself.
On your best days, it feels like some sort of sadistic dream.
Something you remember in full detail, yet it feels like it didnt really happen to you.

Maybe that looks like you cant get out of your bed.
Maybe it looks like you sit alone and shut everyone else out.
These days, all you know is the deep-rooted pain.
It feels distorted, like you dont belong in its safe arms like you once did.
But you dont want to say a word to anyone about it.
Sometimes, you think about it.
To let you talk about it.
To let you heal in some small way, even if its just a conversation.
But you bite your tongue until it bleeds.
Because you tell yourself, What I am dealing with is bad, but others have had it worse.
You dont want to make a mountain out of a molehill.
You dont want to bring up your pain because compared to others, it can feel so small.
Like you were lucky, even.
Well, this happened, but at least this didnt happen.
You tell yourself that your pain is nothing compared to others, so you keep it in.
You struggle with it, alone.
Im here to tell you,your pain is valid.
Your suffering is worth consolation.
Your brokenness does not translate to worthlessness.
You are a human.
You are resilient and brave, even if you dont believe this yourself.
The fact that youre here right now counts for something.
You went through something terrible and you came out the other side alive.
Maybe shaken, or even shattered, but you are here.
This is not a game.
Your pain is valid.
If you are broken, suffering, or hurting- then you are allowed to feel that way.
Maybe that means you write it out.
Maybe that means you run to your family or friends and tell them what youre struggling with.
Maybe it means going to see a therapist.
Maybe that means praying.
Maybe it means speaking out to people to offer your own hand.
Maybe it means staying quiet for awhile.
You shouldnt feel like a burden to others.
I cant tell you I understand your pain.
Maybe you dont want them today, and thats okay too.
Because you are worth it.
You are not a burden.
It isnt your fault.
Your pain is valid.
Dont let the world tell you anything different.
