Hey you,
Today, I want to tell
each and everyone of you that I appreciate you for trying.
It may not be easy
to keep trying and you may end up crying a lot. But the fact that you are
trying means so much to me.
It is indeed hard
to live life. Because as I like to call it “Life Happens” to all of us.
Nobody
said it was easy. Nobody ever warned us that it may be this difficult. But I want
you to know that I love your spirit of trying to find a solution.
Maybe it was an
exam… maybe it was a relationship… maybe it was searching for a job… maybe it
was gathering all the money that was needed… maybe it was an illness you are
fighting… I may not understand your challenge. I do understand the pain and the
efforts you are taking to fight it. You are such an amazing person.
Was today very
difficult? Did you feel that you couldn’t do enough today? That’s not true. You
did whatever you could. And you would get up tomorrow and try again. It is such
a hard thing to do this every day. I am stunned by your perseverance.
Did something hold
you back? Was it all those emotions that confused you? Breathe in, dear. You
will sort them out as you always have.
Was society puzzling
you? And you didn’t get any answers even when you asked around. Its okay, you know.
Somebody once told me that all questions may not always have answers. I am awed
with your strength to withhold these questions.
Was it your body
that stopped you? I know habits are difficult to break. You get used to some way
of dealing with things. It may not always be helpful but it is just another way
to keep the fight on… I know you will keep at it and one day you will get
there.
I know you may feel
like giving up.
I feel it, too. All
the time. I am terrified.
I don’t get it
either when people tell me not to give up. Because they don’t get what I am
going through. But there is something that keeps me going.
I don’t get what
you are going through.
But I know one
thing for sure. Pain is painful. Fear is terrifying.
So, I salute you
for not giving up despite wanting to give up every second.
And the fact that
you exist keeps me going. You tell me that I am not alone.
Hence, please keep
up the wonderfully marvelous work that you have been doing. You are an inspiration
to me. I am sure many others feel the same. But you know it could be difficult
to put it in words. So, don’t assume they aren’t there.
We are in this together.
So, let’s not give
up, at least not without a fair try!
Respect,
Amruta
