An Open Letter to Anyone Who Feels Lost or Hopeless
Your story hasn't ended.
Jamie Tworkowski says that “We are living stories,” and I think he’s absolutely right about that.
We are all living stories. And let’s face it — every really good story is far from flat. Everybody loves a juicy tragedy. A frightful thriller. Until, of course, it’s their tragedy or their fright.
But that’s a damn shame because who knows? All of your scary and tragic shit could be prepping you to tell one helluva good story.
That’s why you belong here. Right here, wherever you are. No, I know. Life sucks and the shit you’re going through is terrible. I'm not denying any of that.
What I’m saying is that you’ve got options even when your choices feel so small. You belong here in this world despite how hard it seems right now. You belong here with people who love you. Okay, so maybe nobody really loves you right now, you say.
But they will.
You’ve just got to stick around long enough to know that love.
Believe me, I know all about loss and pain. I know what it’s like to doubt you’ve got much more than even an hour left in you — let alone a whole ‘nother day.
