I was feeling sad —
You know one of those days where you feel tired for no reason?
I was having one of those days.
But I couldn’t present myself to the public, not in the state that I was.
Coincidentally,
A dear friend texted me that morning
Saying they had a pretty awful day the day before —
And how my little gesture cheered them up.
If someone comes to you
About their struggles,
worries,
wondering if what they did mattered to anyone anymore —
What would you say?
I would feel sorry that they were feeling the way they felt,
It must be tough on them.
Things may not always go the way we wish for,
But sometimes, these are the very things that gives us a reason to keep living.
Your goals may feel out of reach at times —
And that is okay.
You don’t have to continue struggling so much,
But it is worth giving it a try.
There are some days we thrive, and some days we just survive —
And that is enough.
For anyone who needs this,
You know one of those days where you feel tired for no reason?
It’s okay to have those days.
Everything may be feeling heavy, weighing down on your shoulders;
But this is not your forever.
Allow yourself to feel it —
Feel all of it.
When you allow yourself to feel,
You will be able to let it go.
There will be better days —
I promise.
