Dear Me,
I know you feel like giving up right now, but for your own sake don't do it. Sometimes things end up working out even after you feel like all hope is lost.
Remember that time you almost threw in the towel, but not even a day later things worked out? What do you think would have happened if you gave up and threw in the towel early? There's no telling how things would be now, but you don't have to worry about it because you held on for just a little bit longer and things ended up working out in the end.
"When I thought it'd all be done
When I thought it'd all been said
A little bit longer and I'll be fine"
- A Little Bit Longer, Jonas Brothers
It may seem like your world is crashing down right now, but I promise it's not. Even if you feel completely defeated and like you have no other options, things will work out somehow and you'll be okay.
At first you might not feel okay and things might not work out exactly how you wanted them to, but maybe that's a good thing because not everything in life is going to go exactly how you planned. Life is full of twists, turns, bumps and dips, and you're just along for the ride, but you can choose to make the most of it and enjoy the ride while you can.
Don't stress too much over the situation. You're obviously going to be stressed out about it, but don't let it affect every other part of your life or stop you from going out and having fun. If you do then you might be left feeling like everything in your world is crashing down at once.
Don't be afraid to talk to someone about how you're feeling. Sometimes when you feel like giving up you shut people out, but what you should be doing is letting others help lift you up. They might not be able to do anything to help the situation itself, but they can at least help take your mind off of it for a while.
Remember that things always have a way of working out. You might have planned a specific path for yourself in life, but that's not always the path you're meant to follow. Just because you're not on the same exact path anymore doesn't mean things won't be okay for you in the end.
Do think over all of your options. What are the positives and negatives of this new outcome? How can you turn this situation that seems hopeless into something good for you?
You are worth fighting for, but if you won't fight for yourself then no one else will either. So just keep your head up and keep fighting for yourself because things will be okay eventually.
I know you feel like giving up right now, but for your own sake don't do it. You might just find that holding out hope for just a little bit longer is all it takes.
