If you are reading this and feeling lost, I want you to know this: you are not alone. Your pain is seen, your voice matters, and your story is not finished. Life may feel overwhelming now, but every day holds the possibility of hope.

Please be patient with yourself. Healing isn’t linear. Sometimes, you will fall, and that’s okay—it’s part of learning to rise. Reach out to people you trust or professionals trained to help. Find what brings you peace, even if it’s something small.

Remember, you are more than your struggles. You carry strength that hasn’t yet been tested. There is a light within you waiting to shine.

Together, we can be more than survivors—we can be witnesses to hope.
