Itâs okay if youâre lying on your bed right now, staring blankly at the ceiling, about to cry.Â
I know youâre scared. Youâre scared because you think youâre never good enough. Youâre scared because you see other people your age already doing well and youâre not even halfway there. Youâre scared because you think about what others will say about you. Youâre scared to end up failing. Youâre scared, and I understand.
But let me tell you this: Youâll make it. I swear, you will.
So if you feel like crying right now, itâs okay, go ahead and cry. Itâs okay to feel lost. You will eventually find your way out. Itâs okay if right now you feel like youâre not the person youâre supposed to be, because I know that youâll figure it out one day.
Itâs okay if you feel like youâve let yourself and the people you love down a lot of times already. One day, after all the trials and errors and breakdowns, youâll finally make it. And youâll see that the people who love you never lost their faith in you.
Please, right now, as you are â I am asking you to not give up. Your heart may feel heavy and your mind may have thousands of thoughts inside, but you have to keep going. You have to, no matter how scary and much of a struggle it may be.Â
I am proud that you found the strength to read this because that means that youâre trying to tell yourself that you can do this through all of these words. So if there are times that you feel like youâre about to just turn around and give it all up, remember this: You are not a failure. You are on your way. You are on your way."
