Hey there friend,
First off I just want to say thank you for being open with us here. We appreciate it and don’t take it for granted. I believe that sharing how we feel, and what we have been through, can help others feel less alone. Once again, thank you so much.
It’s okay to not know how to start, I am proud of you for being open with us here, I think that is a big step. You are doing great.
I understand that feeling of being lost in life. Some days I still don’t know who I am, or who I want to be. Know that is okay, it’s okay to feel lost. You will find your way, it takes time and work but it will be found.
I am so sorry for the struggle you are going through, you don’t deserve this pain. I cannot even begin to understand how stressful it must be to not have a place to call home, how hard it must be to keep going when everything seems lost. Covid was hard for many, and I am so sorry that it hit you guys so hard. Losing everything is something I cannot even begin to know how difficult it must be. I am proud of you guys for staying, for continuing on, even in the face of such pain and loss.
Jobs are hard, it’s like you can apply for so many and no one answers, or you get false hope from one of them. I have been there, looking for a job, and it is just such a difficult and painful thing to work through, especially at this time when it seems like places need workers, but no one wants to hire for some reason. It is such a stressful time; I am glad you are continuing on, still trying. You are doing amazing. All you can do is keep trying, that is all that can be asked of you.
You are not useless. You are trying, that is all you can do I promise you. I know it can be hard in relationships when it is compared what is being given and taken. I have a hard time with that myself, but something my boyfriend has reminded me of lately is that I am doing what I can, and he is doing what I can… and that is enough. I think that is crucial to remember, you are doing your best and that is literally all anyone can ask of you.
Animals, I feel especially dogs, are great companionship, and I am glad you have them there. I feel as though they can understand more than we think, sometimes I feel like their presence is just nice to have, it is somewhat healing.
It’s okay to vent, it’s okay to feel lost. I appreciate you for being open with us, I believe what you have shared will help many others feel less alone in this world in what they feel and what they have been through or what they are experiencing.
Keep going, keep fighting, keep applying for jobs, just do your best- that’s all that can be asked of you.
You are doing great.
Sending love,
Lys
