grief
Dear stranger,
Sometimes it feels like the greatest thing people lack isn't money—it's someone who truly listens. We are surrounded by people, conversations, and responsibilities. Yet, at the end of the day, there are thoughts that remain locked inside our hearts. We hesitate to share them because we're afraid of being judged. But staying silent has its own weight too. So, this letter exists for that silence. I don't know who you are. I don't know if these words will ever reach you. But I do know this: if you've ever felt alone, please remember that there are others in this world who have felt the same way. Be a little kinder to yourself. You don't have to find all the answers today. Not every wound heals overnight. But every morning brings another chance to begin again. If you're still here, still trying, still moving forward, that is proof of your strength. From one stranger to another, I sincerely wish you peace, hope, and brighter days ahead. I hope life gives you moments that remind you how to smile again. Take care.
