A letter from Oct 9th, 2021

to whoever is reading this, i honestly don't know if me the person writing this will even be alive to read this a year from now. i hope i am but then again right now i am really burning out and i don't know for how much longer i can push through. but if i/you are reading this you have made it another year hell maybe even another hour. sometimes we need to take it minute by minute and hour by hour just to try and make through the day as nest we can without losing it completely. those people who were once in your life who aren't anymore left for a reason so the people who stayed and the new people who have taken the empty places can fill you up not tear you down. i know that this life is hard and it always will be but you have to try to push through. i know i said in the beginning that i don't even know if a year from now ill be able to write it and i'm telling you to hold on. YOU SHOULD you might be the light for someone else or their safe person. we all need those people sadly a lot of us struggling do not. we need those people seek them out try and find someone who can be your light even when it feels like there is nothing left to light up. i believe in you. i love you. i am proud of you. i am utterly amazed by you and all of your unique gifts and abilities. you are loved. you are cherished. you are worthy.
