Dear reader,
I know this is such a very weird way to begin my message , but permit me to say, life is one journey you know ! The pain , the tears, the long nights , the failures , the neglects , the rejects , the sicknesses , the bad dreams , the “all hope is lost” moments and the angry moments. The discouraging moments 😔. I ponder right now on my journey through life and all I can say is, ” in the end , we will smile ” .
I’m not going to write much because I don’t even know if I’m able to connect as deeply with you as I would wish to. I want to know you , I want to see you , to read your heart and go through this pain with you, to wipe your tears and help you rise again , yes you , my dear reader, I hope I do, however , my wish may never be answered .
I don’t know what you are going through or who I’m writing to , and even if it’s just for one person , I hope this reaches you soonest my dear, cause you’re worth this and even more. Writing to you brings me soo much joy .
I know it almost feels like the end of the road for you , I want you to read this and trust me when I say ,” don’t worry, for I’ve hit rock bottom , I’ve felt loneliness , I’ve been hurt , I’ve been rejected, and in all , in all my struggle, one thing I wish I knew then was that “worrying does not empty tomorrow of it’s troubles, it only empties today of its strength “.
I want you to do this exercise I found to work for me and I hope you as well. Go, to your mirror and in the midst of all the disappointment you may feel , in the midst of the discouragement you are about to feel even more, (because once you look in that mirror, I can guarantee you, you’re going to feel more pain than you can imagine) because this may not be the life you’ve hoped for, say to yourself , ” I love you “, say to yourself, ” You are strong, You’re loved, you are born for greatness , you are not a failure , say to yourself, I will smile again, say to yourself, I’m born for greatness ”
Done? How do you feel ? It may not seem different from how you felt minutes ago , but that’s the point of the exercise. I want you to believe the words you say to yourself and speak life to yourself. I urge you therefore, to speak these words daily , I promise , you will feel peace again .
Don’t let go , don’t give up , please don’t , just trust the process.
Yours truly ,
Sharon Paulina Boye
