I don't know who you are, where you're from, what you've done, or what you've been through. But I do know you're a human being.

We live in a world where it's frowned upon to wear your heart on the outside. A world where it's near sinful to show humility. And because of this many people feel alone. 

We believe struggling with life is a failure to live which in turn reinforces self doubt and a deep feeling of inadequacy. 

Good news though. You are not alone. Life is hard. Real hard. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves. Not that I blame them. Looking at the harsh realities of ones life can be unnerving to say the least. 

In life we all experience adversity and oppression. We experience fear. We experience heavy loss and carry deep wounds that stain our hearts with burdensome memories. We experience deep pain and lock the doors to our very being, shunning the world away from ourselves. 

We have collectively created the loneliness that is bleeding humanity dry. But the truth is we aren't truly alone it's just an illusion we've given birth to in order to fake the appearance of perfection. Which is something that is unachievable.

I see you and I feel you. Although the source of our pain is different I do understand the depth of what you're feeling. Don't give up and don't give into dispair. 

Stay humble. Stay true. Stay you. Don't be afraid to wear your heart on the outside. We are all forged by the same fire. We are all human.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
