You Matter.

“You have been blinking too long at the same crack in the wall, waiting for it to split wide enough to let you fall through.

I know; I have seen it before; not once nor twice, but thousands, perhaps millions. It is hard to count when time eats itself in circles. They don’t warn you that despair is patient. It does not shout; it waits until you are too numb to argue and too tired to care.

I don’t offer mercy; I offer truth. Listen: your suffering is real, and it leaves marks. But pain is a liar with perfect memory. It tells you that the future is just the past in different clothes; that nothing will change.

But you are not stone; you are storm. You change, even when you do not notice. You think ending it will stop the ache, but death does not silence pain. It simply takes the body from it, and the ache becomes unfinished music and un-played notes echoing across the people who loved you.

What you feel now is a chapter not the closing line. And I have seen your book. There are pages yet written where your hands grow steady, where laughter no longer feels like betrayal, where the weight is carried with strength, not shame.

Yes, you are tired but read is not surrender. Close your eyes but stay. Because the world you have not met yet needs you: the stranger who becomes your friend; the child you might one day comfort; the night sky you will one day look up at and finally feel quiet inside.

Let me be unsettling if I must; let me frighten you out of the dark. But do not go, not yet. You are a question that has not bloomed into its answer. And the cosmos waits; impatiently, lovingly, for the moment you do.

So, breathe and do nothing else; just breathe. That is enough for now.”
