Pitter patter. Pitter patter. Silence.

That's the sound of your heart, not the rain.

The old wives' tale claims that bad things come in threes...I've found that it's more of a chain reaction. One thing will go wrong and then fifteen more will follow suit.

You're defeated. You feel so down on yourself to the point of no consolation. Your tears don't fall, no, they continuously crash around you, creating a lake of sadness from all the negativity you're enduring. You're not okay and that's perfectly okay. No one should be expected to be okay at all times, I promise you it's fine.

I know things are bad and they will probably be bad for quite some time, depending on what exactly you're having to deal with and go through right now. And I know that your skies are dark and grey, but I'm here to let you know that it might be storming now, but it can't rain forever. The sun will come out and shine a ray of happiness upon your life. It may not be today, might not be tomorrow, might not even be a month from now...but it will come, I promise.

Darling, you just have to keep your head up. It's not your fault, I promise. And even if it is your fault, it's not that terrible, please just know that you can get through this. You will get through this. And everything will be okay eventually, in the end. Try to stay positive, okay? Don't let your lovely mind get clouded and muddled with judgment and negativity. Optimism is key, I promise. I know it's hard, I've been there, but just stay positive. Things will get better. Like I said, it's not automatic, but it will get better. Especially if you believe it will.

So chin up, darling, you'll be okay.
