Day 279 of 365

If you're someone who's having a hard time opening up, this is for you.

Maybe one thing that's stopping you is the thought that you might disturb or annoy them. Trust me, I've never felt that way towards anyone who reaches out to me for a shoulder to cry on.

Sometimes, the problems that we encounter are becoming too heavy for us to carry alone. It's not a crime to ask for help. If you can't let go of whatever it is that's slowing you down, then at least allow someone to carry it with you.

Your thoughts, feelings, and existence matter. Your voice, your words, and your stories are worth listening to.

It may be hard to open up, but it helps. As long as you choose the right person to talk to, you are safe.

Allow yourself to release the pain in your chest.

Based on experience, it's nice to have at least one person who understands. That person will understand where you're coming from, why you think and act that way, and figure out how they're supposed to support you with your battles.

If you have someone in mind, maybe you can talk to them. If I were in that person's shoes, I'd be in tears because of all people, you opened up to me. I love it when my friends trust me with their problems. It's as if they're allowing me to help them.

If you can't think of anyone to talk to, I'll pray that you'll soon find at least one person who'll willingly fight your battles with you. You deserve the peace and satisfaction of being able to let it all out. I hope they'll hold your hand as tight as they hold your secrets.

If only I could give you a hug right now, I would.

Since words aren't enough, I hope a hug won't be too much.
