Please be happy

Look at the contacts in your phone. You probably have a hundred of them, a hundred souls. Some of them are hurting but they don't show it, they don't talk about it. This one's for them. I happen to know a few beautiful souls who are hurting so badly right now. May this help you- one way or another. May you find comfort in knowing that the pain won't last forever.

Firstly, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you're going through so much pain. I hope there's someone you talk to, someone you share your troubles and sorrows with. I hope you find the courage within you to tell someone about the things that keep you up at night, the things that don't let your pillow stay dry. There's someone you already know who would be more than willing to listen to you.

Trust them. Let them in.

As much as you don't want to let another human break you again, let this one person in. Know that there's strength in vulnerability.

Next, believe. Believe that you're going to be okay. It probably feels like the end of the world to you but it's not and you know that. Trust that things will get better- because it will, it always does. Believe you're not alone in this- because you're not. Believe that there is an end to this pain. Believe the ones who tell you that you're strong enough to pull through this, simply because you are.

The only way out of this is for you to go through it. Don't run away from your feelings. It's okay to hurt. Feel the pain because it will make you so much stronger than you already are. When you're no longer crying yourself to sleep at night, feel the relief. When you realise that the pain has subsided, feel the joy and don't hesitate. You deserve to be happy.

Do the things that make you happy. Read a book, hang out with your friends, go shopping or catch a movie. Do whatever you want to do because you no longer have to hurt. Move on because you owe it to yourself to be happy.

Remember, you're a fighter. This pain is only temporary.
Please be happy.

Love,
Reshma
