I decided to write this week’s article as a motivational letter.
The past seven days have been rather stressful and busy for me because of upcoming deadlines for my book and travel. I had to finish my book and edit it at least once by yesterday since I’m going on vacation soon. I was in need of some dire inspiration to keep working throughout this week. Even though I spent probably 12 hours a day in front of the computer. I realized that there were others that maybe, probably, most likely needed the same and I thought, why not?
But before I begin, I just wanted to say that you’ve got all my luck and goodness coming your way. Whatever it is that you need to send, complete, ace, or study for, I’m sure you’ll do it. And that too, very well.
Good luck, and I hope this helps :)
This letter is to you. You who had a rough year or month or week or day or hour or minute or even one second. Because there isn’t any minimum time for everything to change. You may have just wanted someone to just ask “how are you” or “what’s up” so that you could let go and just be free. But that probably didn’t happen.
You may have wanted everything to just stop, so you can stop and just have a little while to not do that thing that’s kept you awake or stressed you out or made you cry. You’re not alone. It may feel like it and seem like it and everything, but you’re not. I can almost guarantee that there’s someone who feels the same as you, regardless of if you know them or not.
You may be the person who tries to put on a strong face for others, but the inside of you may just be breaking down. You may be the person who people look to for comfort, but they never ask if you need anything. Or you just may be doing so well, and that’s just amazing.
Despite what situation you’re in, I want you to know that you have the right to your emotions. Whatever they are, you can feel them for as long as you want or need. But don’t forget, to my strong-faced people, those who don’t get the comfort they give, the people who are doing great, and all those who are just somewhere in the middle, that putting yourself first must be your number one priority.
You deserve the best physical health, mental health, and emotional health. You deserve to smile and laugh and play around and have fun. You deserve to do whatever it is that you want to do. You deserve it all. You have that right.
So, you know what? The next time you feel like crying, cry. The next time you feel like screaming, scream. Whatever it is that you feel like doing that will make you feel better, do it. For you. Not for anyone else or to make someone feel satisfied. For you and for you only.
Don’t hold it in. You don’t deserve that. And neither does your body, mind, or heart. Take some deep breaths. Do what you love. Talk to someone or something.
And know that, you have a purpose. And you are meant to do something. It may take time - lots and lots or very little - but you will find and/or create it.
For what it’s worth, I’m so proud of you. What you’re going through is hard but you’re getting through it and still trying and just hanging in there. You’re not giving up, and if you did, you can still get back into it. There’s no rule that says you can’t.
Keep your head up or try to, as much as you can. I know it’s hard sometimes (or a lot of the time), but you got this.
Love,
Someone who was just in the same position as you, and is telling that you’re not alone.
Thanks for reading! Until next time, stay safe, happy, and healthy.
