Feeling very lost and alone tonight with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. The world is like a carousel that never stops spinning. You can't get off, can't turn back. It just keeps going and going whether you want it to or not.

I just want it to stop. Just for a moment. Just long enough for me to figure out what's happening and how to move forward. I don't want to make the wrong choice, don't want to get on the wrong ride. I want to keep moving forward but how do I do that when I feel stuck, stuck in the same cycle of spinning thoughts and second guessing? I just wish someone would tell me what to do, what the right choice is. What's true and what's not. What the future holds and where to go.

I'm stuck and alone and I just want out.

Just for a moment.

Hi there!

I hope I'm not too late, and I hope you're still with us.

Life can be very challenging, to put it lightly. To put it plainly, it can be the hardest thing you do, and it can suck. A lot. Very often.

I don't know your pain, since only you can feel it the way you do. It is clear that you're hurting deeply. And you've lost very special people in your life, the weight of which is unbearable.

But, in spite of that, I think you should keep going.

The tricky thing about life is that it holds a lot of high ups and low downs. It hurts miserably when you're at the lowest points, and you want to believe it can't be any worse.

Yet you never know what truly comes next in life, not until it happens.

You may feel like no one cares, but they do. A lot of people can be too busy to get an opportunity to express it the right way, which I've been on both sides of myself.

There is no certainty for our time on this planet, and I don't know what comes next. But, what I do know is that with your time here, you can find new ways of living and meaning around the corner.

Perhaps it will remain difficult for right now, for the immediate future, perhaps even for several years out. Maybe you won't get the full fulfillment you've wanted from your life. And you'll likely make mistakes along the way.

That's ok though. That's just how living works.

One day out there, you could help someone else that feels as you do. There is probably someone out there that needs something only you can connect with and offer. There are people that you've connected with in life that do need and love you, though it's possible they don't remember to say so, or have yet to, but plan on it.

Our futures are not written, and there is no guide for life. We all just amble about and figure it out as best as we can.

Since your story isn't fully written, I can't really guess at where it's meant to go next. But, I hope that you'll tell me one day.

Based on me alone, I've been happy seeing your username appear at times, because I've seen it for several years now. I don't have the time to say so often, but it makes me happy when you enjoy the content that I make or share. Even to this day, I see your name and know you've been with me for years.

Now, I won't be the one that provides depth of meaning and life to you. But, I want you to know that, even when I'm not very available to say so, I do care. And I bet that I'm not the only one, be it online or in person. For those people, I hope that you'll keep going, and for those you haven't discovered yet, I hope you meet them soon.

Your pain is something you carry every day, and it feels heavier now and again. It can be eclipsing, and no one understands it as you do. However, there is still more that you can offer others in life, and there is still more that life has to offer you.

For those you've lost, they would be happy knowing that you kept going, and that you would live for them. Whatever you continue to define your life as, however you continue to live, that's a way that you can keep them alive in your heart and memories. Because what you do going forward allows you to honor your mom and your friend's memories, and how they lived life.

Whatever love they showed and taught you, there is still time that you can share with the rest of the world. Even if you can't express what they gave you, then there still a way that you can give that love to others. They may need it too.

Hopefully, this is enough to help you consider and gives you belief to keep going. You don't have to face everything alone, and you should get someone who can help you organize yourself, put the pieces where you want them to go next.

We don't know yet what you can offer life. Maybe it's something great, maybe it's something small. But to someone else that you know or don't know yet, it could mean anything and everything.

I truly hope that you will discover that one day, and I hope you'll be able to tell me, whenever that day comes. I'll listen.

Hello, Echo and no, you're not too late. I'm still here. I want to personally thank you for the kind words and message, and yeah... life's been kicking my ass and it still is. But, I'll keep fighting and try to aim for a better future. So again, thank you and sorry for worrying you. I truly appreciate your writing over the years and I hope you keep up the amazing work.
