Dear Me,

I know life has not always been easy for you. You’ve carried losses, responsibilities, pressure, and silent battles that many people never noticed. Yet somehow, you kept going. Even on the days you felt tired, overwhelmed, or completely lost, you still showed up for the people you love.

I’m proud of you for surviving the versions of life that almost broke you.

You are still learning, still growing, and still becoming someone stronger than yesterday. The mistakes you made do not define you. The difficult days do not define you either. What defines you is your ability to keep moving forward with kindness in your heart.

You have built a life far away from where you started. From memories of home to building a future in Alberta, you’ve carried dreams bigger than your fears. You became someone your younger self would look at with disbelief and pride.

Please remember:
You do not always have to be strong.
You do not always have to have everything figured out.
Rest is not failure.
Feeling emotional is not weakness.

Keep loving deeply.
Keep laughing loudly.
Keep taking pictures of the moments that matter.
Keep chasing peace, not perfection.

And one day, when life finally slows down for a moment, I hope you look back and realize how far you came.

You deserved every bit of happiness that found you.

With patience and belief,
Yourself

I feel so lost, but I'm very much here. I feel so dead inside, but I see myself breathing. I've been feeling this for so long, but I was just pretending to be fine. Sometimes, I ask myself, “Why did this happen to me? How long will I feel this way? Will I ever be okay?”

I’m not cold. I’m just tired of burning alone.

An open letter to those who are exhausted:

I know you are exhausted. You are tired of many things in life that you no longer have the energy to do the things that you used to love doing. You are tired of dealing with many people because your social battery is in the worst condition. We often associate productivity with accomplishing a lot of things, so you only do the things you do because you are required to do them.

There are days like this when you are tired of a lot of things in life, that you are already tired of being tired. You just want to survive and make ends meet. People will always advise you to keep fighting when life knocks you down. And while I know they mean well, I also know that sometimes, what you truly need isn’t words of encouragement but the safe space to feel what you’re feeling, to admit that you’re exhausted.

I hope you will have even just a fleeting moment to rest and then back to fighting in life again. You don’t have to push yourself beyond your limits just to prove your strength, since no matter how strong you are, you will eventually experience burnout.

Nonetheless, may we finally have the rest we deserve that will lead as back to the person that we were before we became exhausted. No matter how tough things seem now, trust that in time, everything will fall into place.

My deepest pain is that I have never truly had a good friend. Everyone who entered my life came with a purpose, and once that purpose was served, they left quietly as if they had never existed. A few people helped me in small ways, and in return I gave them everything I had. But that cannot be called friendship.

Some came pretending to be friends, only to take advantage of my kindness. Today, I can’t find them anywhere. They have vanished like vapour, leaving no trace behind.

Every day, I live with one of the biggest regrets of my 32 years of life that I have no one I can talk to as a friend. I have no shoulder to lean on, no one who understands me without judging, no one who simply listens.
I have no friend 🙃

Elders fascinate me. Seeing them smiling 😊 inspired me to thrive more and still fight for life. But at the same time, they also break my heart ❤️ thinking, how are they able to cope with the loss of people and shattered dreams?

How could they smile at young people and say that to live is still the most wonderful thing to ever happen? Even though we all know that life is full of thunders and storms 🌧️ more than a rainbow 🌈 that we could rarely experience.

Despite the wrinkles on their faces that show the struggles they've been through, the smile on their eyes reflects the battles they've won 🏆 . And they wear it proudly. Seeing them pushes me to win life and experience what it can offer. I also want to smile at youngsters and be living proof that to live will always be the most wonderful gift of life.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for the shared experiences.

It’s such a crushing feeling when you’re desperate to talk to someone who truly understands you, someone who can see your pain without judging you for it and you realize there’s no one like that in your life. You’re surrounded by people, yet none of them feel like home to your heart.
The loneliness is overwhelming. Sometimes life feels so hollow, so directionless, that you’re not even sure where to pause, or how to begin finding your way back!
