When sometimes you think that your best is not enough, no one said that you have to do it alone. Nobody said you can't ask for help. 

Feel free to do so. You are made for so much more than this. Just like how gold needs to be processed, we are put through fire to purify us so we come out shining.

There is more to life than the pain and hardships.

Hey, we're surviving and that's enough. Our efforts won't be wasted. 

Broken bones can be mended,

Aching hearts can heal.

Love is more powerful than we think,

Because Love is sometimes what the person needs.

Life can be cruel,

But we can choose what to do.

We can sing in the darkness and laugh in the rain,

We can cry in our pillows and smile everyday,

Or reflect on ourselves and reach out for others,

Still learn to be hopeful and learn how to pray.

Just know that one day,

not on our own terms, the pain will go away.

There are plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. You are made for so much more, and whether we know each other or not, I am proud of you. You've come this far, you're doing so well. Just remember that even soldiers need a quiet place to rest. They get wounded in the fight. And that's okay. It's okay to sit down and rest. It's okay to get tired. You weren't made to be a robot that is labeled to be invincible. You're human. And you're doing fine. You're doing wonderful.

You were made to be a victor; a conqueror.

The present suffering that we are going through will not compare to the joy that will come in the distant future.
