Strength to Stay

Below are letters from real people offering you love, wisdom, support, and strength. 

Hey,

I’m not really good at writing stuff like this. I’m the kind of guy who usually just says “you’ll be alright” and hopes that somehow covers it. But I guess I wanted to try anyway, because if you’re reading this maybe today’s been pretty rough. I don’t know what’s going on in your life. Could be a lot of things. Maybe you’re just really tired. Maybe your head won’t stop running. Maybe you feel like everyone else seems to have life figured out and you’re just kind of… stuck. I’ve had days like that. More than I’d like to admit, honestly. The kind of days where everything feels heavier than it probably should. Where even small stuff feels like too much effort. And you don’t always talk about it because you don’t want to sound dramatic or like you’re complaining. So you just kind of carry it. I guess the reason I’m writing this is to say you’re not weird for feeling that way. A lot more people are walking around feeling like that than anyone talks about. And things can look really different later, even if right now it just feels like a long tunnel. And if nobody’s said it lately, I’m really glad you’re still here. Even if we’ve never met. Take care of yourself, alright.

— Mike
