Dear The Person Struggling Right Now.


Dear The Person Reading This, The Person Struggling Right Now.




There are many things today, I wish I could say to you. And there are many things I wish I could do for you.

For one, I would take away all the pain and heartbreak you wish to rid of, to make your life an easier ride. I would take all the negative from your life and turn them into something that you can deal with, without feeling the pain you do today.


These, and many other things, however I cannot do for you.


But there are things I can do today.


I can reassure you that soon, it'll all be okay.

I can promise you that you can keep on going another minute, hour and day.

I can tell you with all my heart that I love you.


Okay, that may not be the best form of help in the world, trust me I know what you're going through right now, heck I still go through it now myself.

And because of this, I know that one thing I can't tell you is that I understand what you're going through. Because we all go through it differently, and everyone tells you that they understand you and can help you, when really you know that they don't understand the feelings of loneliness, helplessness and unhappiness you feel on a daily basis or the thoughts in your head that won't go away. Or why you struggle to sleep at night or why one name or one person breaks your heart so much that it pushes you to a point of unhappiness you can't control. I cannot understand the reason for your pain, frankly because the only person who lived the pain is you in your own way.

I can't tell you so many things, including what you will be doing tomorrow or in 3 years time. I cannot tell you that everything will be okay in a few years time or when you'll meet that one special person.

I can't tell you things you probably need to hear. I can't tell you what will happen if you decide you can't live another moment of your life, or how people around you will react.


I can however, tell you what you will miss.

You'll miss seeing the stars lighting up the night sky and the beauty of the sun as it rises and falls.

You'll miss eating your favourite meal again or drinking your favourite drink.

You'll miss learning new information that may change the way you look at the world.

You'll miss the rush you get from doing your favourite sport or activity or from watching your favourite musical act live for the first time.

You'll miss the late night talks with a friend, a parent, someone you love and the staying out until 4am laughing until you cry.

You'll miss the feeling of fresh bedsheets on your bed, or wearing a new outfit for the first time.

You'll miss opening a letter or email or text, delivering the happy news that will make your life feel better for whatever reason.

You'll miss the random acts of kindness from strangers you cross paths with.

You'll miss meeting that one person who gives you butterflies in your stomach, excitement in your heart and confusion in your brain because they give you feelings no one in the world has ever made you feel.


Right now you may be struggling. Right now, you may feel like everything just has to end and that you cannot bare life another day. And no one may have told you today, but I will right now, you can totally fucking do this, and you will totally smash every obsticle life throws at you.

And I am totally there for you cheering you on. I'm there as a person you may never meet but as a person who loves you nonetheless, and even though I have never met you and may never meet you, I promise you that you are a pretty awesome person who the world will miss entirely if you leave.

I know, right now, it all really hurts.

I know you are in a bunch of pain that you don't know how to get rid of.

I know its all too much, right now.

But thats it isn't it, all of this is just right now.

And now, it might be unbearable, but in a few hours time it might be okay. In a few days time, everything might just slot into place and you may be able to start getting better. In 2 years time, you may be a completely different, happier person.

I know, I can't tell you for definite because I don't know, but really can you afford to miss those moments?

I love you. Please stay.
