Relate?

Darling,
I know how you feel. You feel like the whole world is against you. Like nothing is right. Like your plans are not going as you had dreamed, hoped and prayed. Like nobody understands you. Like all your efforts are a waste and everyone keeps blaming you for all the failures you've experienced. Like the light that used to shine brightly within you has suddenly grown dim and you don't know what to do. Like the world is moving at a faster pace than you can hardly keep up with. Like you're seeing where you ought to be but you can't even get there because you're stuck in quicksand and you keep sinking, drowning in your fears of the uncertainty of the future. Like everyone around you has it all figured out. Like no one loves you. Like you’re not good enough. Like you’d never be successful and achieve your goals. I told you. I know how you feel. I feel that way sometimes too and the unrepentant thinker in me makes things worse but I'm learning how to drown out those passive, deadly thoughts. We’ll be fine eventually. I promise.

With love,
Joanne.
