An open letter to anyone who’s having a hard time.

I know there is something deep inside of you that hurts. You may experience confusion, overthinking, anxiety, loneliness or misery but that is okay, you are only human. It’s normal to feel these things because this will help us build our strength and character. No one in this planet is made perfect, we all experience pain and happiness. So whatever you are feeling right now, one thing is for sure, there will always be a brand new day to live your life. To correct what is wrong, to go beyond the box and to grab every single opportunity that life gives you. The world is yours and it is in your hands to fulfill your own path on what your heart truly wants. There may be difficulty along the way but that should not stop you from chasing your dreams. Go ahead and live your life, you may not be born into a wealthy family or a celebrity and that is okay because everyone is born different.

Everyone has a unique story. You should not envy someone else’s life because it’s theirs, what you should do is omit focus on your own life because you wouldn’t be truly happy if you look at theirs. Genuine happiness is achieved if you learned to love yourself, to forgive people and to be simply contented on what you have. I know we all want ‘more’ although it does not happen overnight. You must focus on what you have now and work hard to achieve what you want ‘more’. There are times that your plans in life doesn’t work the way you want it. As long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter if your plans turned the other way around because some things aren’t meant to be and the best things in life happens spontaneously.

We live in a world filled with judgement and criticism but life doesn’t stop if people dislike you, it only stops if you wanted it to and that’s something we shouldn’t do. You have to remember that it is your life and just continue to be yourself. As long as you feel good and you are not stepping on other people then, you’re alright. You should also keep in mind that people just come and go like life and death. That is why we should live to the fullest because life’s full of uncertainty. So go ahead and take risks or commit mistakes because it’s okay. We all make mistakes and each of it has a lesson that we should apply into our lives. In our lifetime, we don’t stop learning whether we have earned a bachelor’s degree or even PhD. We learn every day from our everyday experiences.

I know that everything I have said aren’t easy but you have your whole life to do it. Just take it nice and slow and you’ll be there eventually, I promise you. You are strong, you’re stronger than your problems so keep striving for the better. Your story matter, so keep going. You are flawed, that’s okay. You are a human being, you are worth it and most importantly, you are loved. I believe in you, you need to believe in yourself too.
