I know sometimes it can feel like the day is a little harder than it should be. Sometimes it feels like these days are coming one after another, and they don’t seem to end. Sometimes it feels like we’re so completely shut out from the rest of the world, even though we’re sleeping under the same blanket of stars as everybody else. Why can’t we get that feeling of companionship we crave? Why don’t we fit in? What is wrong with us?

I’m here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are an amazing individual full of love, but with nobody to give it to. And it hurts, I know it does. But I also want you to know that it’s okay, you will get through it. You have gotten through dark days before, and you will get through them again.

Even when you feel like you have nobody out there for you – especially when you feel like you have nobody out there for you – it is important that you try to reach out. Reach out to a family member, a friend, a professional, us. It is in our most difficult times that we must learn to call someone. It is not weak to seek help. It is something that takes a lot of courage and strength, the courage and strength that you very much possess. Give someone a call, and if you still feel lonely, try calling somebody else. Don’t lose hope, and keep taking steps forward; One step forward, no matter how small or how long it takes, is still one step forward. It will be hard at first, but it is something I truly believe that we can get through together.
