Dear you,

Do you remember when you were younger, when your world felt wide and full of “what ifs”? The places you wanted to go, the things you dreamed of trying, the kind of life that felt exciting just to imagine. That version of you is still here.

Not gone, just buried under a really hard moment. I know things feel heavy right now. Heavier than they should. But this isn’t the whole story of your life.

It’s just a chapter, even if it feels endless. There are still small, beautiful things waiting for you. A sky that turns colors at sunset like it’s putting on a show just for you. A warm, sunny day that wraps around you like a quiet hug.

Laughing with friends until time slips away. You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to feel okay right now. Just stay.

Stay for one more sunrise, one more conversation, one more chance to feel something lighter. You mean more than you know to people in your life. You are part of something bigger just by being here. This will pass.

Not all at once, not perfectly, but it will. So here’s a hug, sent through these words. I hope you can feel the love that is being sent with it.

From someone who truly cares,

Your friend Sheri
