letter #9: to the one waiting for better days
dear you,
if you're reading this while hoping tomorrow will finally feel lighter, i want you to know that i'm proud of you for making it this far.
i know there are days when everything feels painfully ordinary, when you wake up carrying the same worries, face the same battles, and end the day wondering if anything will ever change. you've been telling yourself, "maybe tomorrow will be better," for so long that even hope has started to feel exhausting. but the fact that you're still here, still holding on to even the smallest thread of hope, says more about your strength than you realize.
it's okay if you're tired of waiting. it's okay if you've questioned whether life has forgotten you. seeing others move forward while you feel stuck can make your own journey seem invisible. but your story isn't delayed because you've failed. sometimes life is quietly preparing you in ways you won't understand until much later.
better days rarely arrive all at once. sometimes they begin with a peaceful morning after countless sleepless nights. sometimes they come in the form of a genuine smile you didn't have to force, a laugh that surprises you, or a moment where your heart hurts just a little less than it did yesterday. healing often whispers before it sings.
please don't mistake slow progress for no progress. every step you take, even the ones that feel unbearably small, is still leading you somewhere. you are growing through seasons that no one else can see, and one day you'll look back and realize that these quiet moments were shaping the person you were meant to become.
so, while you're waiting for better days, don't forget that you are allowed to rest. you are allowed to cry. you are allowed to feel discouraged. none of those things mean you've given up. they simply mean you're human.
and when those better days finally find you, i hope you remember this version of yourself the one who kept believing, even when there was almost nothing left to believe in.
keep going. your better days are taking their time, but they have not forgotten your name.
with love,
🐰🤍
