"A moment of silence for those who unfortunately gave up on trying their best"
You certainly try your best to be okay, and it seems so hard when:
"You lost you dad when you where 12"
"You suffered daily from social anxiety"
"Had a mental heart valve and recovering from a risky operation"
"You been bullied because of your fashion choices"
"You had to feel like you fit in"
"You sometimes get into trouble in school"
"You are a cancer survivor with a lifelong side effect from treatments "
"As a doctor struggling with PTSD"
"You suffer from crohns disease and arthritis"
"You became a single dad or mum to a 10 year old girl"
"You struggle with body image and depression"
"You struggle with identity due to fear or abandonment"
"You have a Perfectionist standard and can never live up to it"
"You put your trust in friendship and you where let down"
"You have been raped and abused as a child and you cant confide in anyone even family"
"As a mother or a father you try your best to support your home but it still feels hard on you"
Dear friend,
"Whatever you are struggling today with, remember even in your weakest moments you are strong as you can be. Nobody may see how hard it seems, but I know its hard and you are doing the absolute best you can: I'm proud of you, please never give up.
But remember someone still cares, 'I care' even though we dont know each other, you are amazing for continuing to live even when things get rough."
When you are having a rough time, try this: place your hand on your chest and feel your heart beat, it is called purpose:
You are alive for a reason, So dont give up.
You suffer anxiety, overthinking and depression everyday but you have a strong mind of getting motivated,
You struggle with bad grades but try to keep up in classes,
. You struggle with bad health but you believe you can be cured,
You believe you lost someone dearest to you but you believe you have more people that care for you,
You believe you cant live up to your perfectionist goals but you press forward,
Whatever it is you are may be going through always find a way to make yourself happy and hopeful.
You see yourself sometimes as always been the nice friend when:
No one asks you how you are doing.
You have the feeling that you need to make other people smile.
No one notice if you're in that group because you are used to not showing emotions, they seem to have enough problems without you.
The friends you talk to already is facing the same challenge as you are, you both now become suicidal friends telling each other not to commit.
Every single one of your friends comes to meet you when they are sad or depressed, it's like you are their personal therapist, but when it's your turn they look at you as someone that is always happy while deep down you are not.
Feeling others emotion is the greatest gift ever, however been able to express it in order to elevate people is Angelic.
"My little story was when I was seeking admission into the university, a qualifying exam to be eligible is called JAMB "joint admissions and matriculation board". I wrote the exam 5 times before I could gain admission into the university of first choice, I went through a lot of thinking and I was depressed for those years and time of waiting.
It got to a point where I started developing high blood pressure at a young age. I could remember What got me moving was family, I got motivated to press on, in all I passed through that time they never for one day made me feel bad or layed curses."
"A friend is 23, she lost her parent. Her mum passed away 13 years ago and her father a year ago it hurts for me to realize how hard she tried her best to survive each day and what will occur the next day.
And I always pray for her each day to find the strength to push through, shes also got supportive friends."
I know how you must be feeling right now about that problem or issue coz I've been through it before:
Think about life as a book,
When you are going through a Chapter which is really painful, Heartbreaking, Emotional, and full of Depression and Anxiety and a whole lot of other things;
You dont dont just close that book forever at that moment thinking and knowing that you'll never be going to open that book again.
But you wouldn't stop there, you have to keep reading and hoping for good times to come.
Going through all Chapters no matter how painful and hurting they are to find true meaning of that book of yours.
If you are fighting today I hope this helps you to get along with your book.
Thank you for trying your best and thank you for reading.
