Dearest friend,

I’m so sorry life is being unkind right now. I see you. You are not alone. Look at the moon each night and know I can see it too, we’re under the same sky and I am sending all my love your way. There is a stranger out there who is cheering you on.

Life can be hard, but you are beautiful and wise and resilient. You have so much to give, you are a gift to this world. Look for the beauty, look for the good. And if you can’t find any, create some.

Feed a bird, write a letter, buy someone less fortunate than you a hot drink. Hand in hand we can push back at the darkness. Life is worth living, but maybe you can’t see that right now. Don’t like the darkness bluff you, hope can always be found.

Sometimes we just have to hold on until we can see her again. Don’t let the hard days win. Only you get to decide what breaks you. You are the rock against which the waves crash, you will not be shaken.

There are gentle hands that will hold the broken pieces of your heart, and place you back together piece by piece. Those hands are your own. You can do this.

With love,

Your friend under the same sky.
