If you’re going through something really hard right now…

To the person, of any age, who feels like whatever it is you’re going through will never end. The person who can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I was there once (well, more than once). Growing up with a mom who suffered extreme depression, dealing with her suicide, the loss of another one of the most important people in my life, years of my own child’s health issues… just to name a few. All of those things felt, in their own ways, insurmountable.
Yet here I am. And I am happy. Life is beautiful. But that doesn’t mean it’s always good. That’s the catch.
No beautiful thing is ALWAYS good. Flowers die, but then bloom again. The beach is calm and then raging, and back again. You get the idea. Life can’t always be good and it’s NOT just bad for YOU sometimes. In one way or another, at some point, life takes us ALL for a wild ride. No matter where you live, how much money you have, who you are… no one is exempt.
So even if you have moments where you feel like the ONLY ONE who feels this way, or is going through this thing, rest assured you are not alone.
You may not be able to imagine it now, but one day you’re going to look back at this time and realize you DID get through it. And you’ll feel proud, and strong, and confident that you can do hard things. ☀️
