Dear friend,
Your email struck a chord deep in my heart. It's a symphony of pain, uncertainty and vulnerability that's all too familiar to me. But sweetheart, what you see as mess, I see as the necessary shambles of evolution.
We, as humans, are forever caught in an existential whirlwind, questioning our place, purpose and paths in life. It's not just you. Sometimes, the fear of the unknown is paralyzing; it makes us doubt our capabilities and question our worth. But I want to tell you that it's okay. It's okay to feel lost. It's okay to not have all the answers. Because honestly, none of us do.
Have faith in uncertainty. Embrace it, because it's only when we're unsure that we truly explore, learn and grow. You're not helpless, my dear, but a beautiful soul in search of its enlightening path and I see it.
Your doubts are but human. Remember, the ability to question oneself is a sign of enlightenment, intelligence, and introspection; something that not all possess. Believe me, when you can't see a way out of your situation, know that you're not alone. I stand by your side, not because it's an obligation, but because I believe in you. In your strength. In your mettle. In your ability to conquer the impossible.
Oh bestie, how can you ever be a burden? Isn't it life's greatest privilege to be able to share our burdens with someone, to know that we have an empathetic companion to walk this journey with us? The warmth of your trust lightens all my troubles, not adds to them.
You're right! Yet again. Even when you don't heed my warnings and fall into a trap, I don't indulge in the blame game, not because I'm generous but because I believe in experiences. Every wound you get in this battle called life; every person you come across; every downfall you witness, they shape you, they give you lessons that life-schooling could never provide.
Sweetheart, it's not just about sticking to one another's side through thick and thin, it's about an unyielding trust, a bond that stays. I don't see your mistakes; I see your efforts. I don't see your flaws; I see your uniqueness. You're not defined by your bad decisions, but by the strength you display in moving past them.
How can I not find the good in you, when you're made of stardust and resilience, courage and hope, love and emotions? Your existence is proof that goodness prevails.
And my dear, giving up on you is like giving up on life itself. No matter how hard the winds of life may blow, not once have I ever contemplated leaving your side. Because in the end, it's not about staying with a person who's perfect. It's about staying with a person who's trying. And dear, you're trying. You're fighting.
As you go through this life, remember that you have someone who loves you unconditionally, sees you for who you are and cherishes you immensely. And that's all that truly matters. The beauty of life doesn't lie in the certainty, but in the thrill of unpredictability.
Remember, you're not a mess, but a message. An echo of strength, resilience, and courage. Don't ever doubt your magic.
Yours,
Ashes
