If you're someone who is depressed, suicidal, grieving, exhausted

You made it far. If you had a message to tell yourself, let it be that you tried because you cared. You know deep down you made it this far because you value your efforts, worth, potential and you tried

The results are never in your hands but what matters is that what was entrusted to you in your care, be it money, time, health, whatever resource: you did what you had to and needed to in order to take care of yourself and those who mattered to you

And be the first witness of what you've accomplished. You don't need to let go of something that precious because others can't see it

Does it mean you disbelieved in yourself? No. Right?

And you can read this, just remember when you really were pathetic. With a large head and you fell over lots. With legs so weak you couldn't stand. You couldn't even say what you wanted or know what others meant. But you saw what you wanted to be and you tried to stand.

Every day, as a baby, falling back down. That truly was your most pathetic state. But you didn't know how to quit, then

Don't quit now. Cuz you tried til you could keep your legs beneath you. You made voices until it became eloquence. You watched until you understood

You actually made it here and feel worn because you're being tested with good. You need a rest? Then take a quick break. But don't quit

And most certainly, never disgrace who you once were. A believer in yourself before you learned quitting

Don't learn that now. Perhaps life is this puzzle where you can make it. Maybe it can change all over again. And perhaps like you changed your whole you to the big tall grown up you wanted to be (when you thought it would be all cool), maybe learn to be who you need to be next

And appreciate your journey

Your invisible scars

Don't let the storm take you. You're about to miss the rainbow on the other side. At least see it

You made it this far. You'll taste the sweetness soon. Just take the right steps. Don't cry anymore for yourself. You believed in yourself. Wake up to who you used to be. Maybe the best step forwards is taking a step back.

And try again, until you can stand again

You mattered to you, chief. Let that little soldier who once believed in you stand proud.

And see the rainbow, one more time. Taste happiness again. It comes after pain. You'll be okay, so long as you go the right way

Soon
