Dear You:
I want you to know that you are not alone in what you're feeling, even if it might seem that way right now. Life can be unbearably heavy at times, and the weight of struggle can make it hard to see your own worth. But I promise you this: your value is not defined by your setbacks, your mistakes, or the pain you're feeling right now. You are here for a reason, even if it feels unclear at the moment. The fact that you're still fighting, even in the smallest ways—getting out of bed, taking a breath, or reading these words—shows strength, even when you feel weak. Remember, even the tallest mountains were carved by storms and time, and the same process that shapes them is shaping you into someone more resilient, more extraordinary.
Please don't give up on yourself. There is so much more to you than the struggles you're facing right now. Take things one small step at a time, and allow yourself grace for the things you don't yet know how to navigate. Reach out to someone who cares—a friend, family member, or even a stranger who can lend an ear—because you are not meant to face this alone. The pain you feel is temporary, even if it doesn't seem that way, and there is light ahead, waiting to meet you. You have so much more life to live, so much potential to unfold, and so many people who will be better because you're here. You matter, more than you realize, and this world would not be the same without you in it.
Keep fighting and always remember, if no one has told you recently, IM PROUD OF YOU! Stay strong, I believe in you.
Much Love and Best Regards,
Dylan F. (ASGM)
