to those who are struggling
You are struggling, maybe even hurting. And that is really difficult. It can feel hopeless, lonely, confining.
These feelings are very real, and really hard. How do you climb out of this when you don’t have the motivation to change? How do you make friends who can help you if you don’t feel the self-esteem and confidence?
I am sorry you’re hurting and struggling. But know that even if you feel alone, you are not alone. I, for one, am connected to you because I’m thinking of you, all of you. I’m connected to you because I too have suffered in similar ways. We have shared pain, shared hopelessness, shared loneliness.
And it’s not just me: every single human being who is alive has felt this kind of pain, hopelessness, and loneliness at one time or another. We areall connected through this shared pain and struggle. We feel alone, and in this we are connected.
The feeling of being alone, separated from the rest of the world, is an illusion. Sure, it’s an illusion that feels very very real. But it’s not true.
