To the friend that's struggling,
It's hard seeing you like this but I can promise you that whatever is bothering you will definitely pass with time. Patience is difficult as we envy the pain it creates which is temporary yet feels almost permanent. I know how hard it is to talk about how you feel because you don't want to express your emotions to people in fear of getting hurt. It's understandable and many people go through the same thing which is hard to even think about it.
Just try to remember that so many care about you and are ready to listen and help you with whatever you're struggling with. I understand that it feels like you're stuck but I promise that it's going to get better with time and your future is looking so bright. These moments are building you up into the strong person that we both know you are and you'll look back on this time and be so glad it happened.
Everyone goes through times like these that shape us into who we are in the present and who we will be in the future. Without the rainy days and the cloudy times, we don't grow and flourish into who we are which makes it difficult to progress in life. But, your rainy days will clear up and the sun will shine again just like I know you will. Be thankful that you're going through your rainy days because you're going to have so many happy days in the future that are going to make up for these not so great ones.
Always remember to remind yourself that so many people care about you and want you to be happy in general. These people are so important and it's so key that you are aware of them as you need to do your best to keep them by your side. Unlike this temporary feeling, your friends will be with you forever in some type of capacity. So, do your best to thank them for their presence and just listening to what you have to say in your darkest times. These friends are going to bring a little bit more light into your day which will make your transition into happiness a little less difficult.
Laugh a little bit more tomorrow, and smile all you can today because these moments that you're creating with the people around you can make such a difference. Your struggles will drive you to do your best work and create goals to accomplish in the future that you are more than capable of completing. Use this time as a positive pause in your life to figure out how you can make yourself happy as well as in the future, those around you. These struggles will introduce some of the best things in your life as you overcome the negatives just in time to see the positives coming your way.
"Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is!"
