Things to Say to a Person that is Hurting
Hannah Dmyterko

I adore you

I cherish who you are, even in your suffering. You inspire me in so many ways, and just your presence is enough for me. God knew what He was doing when He created you. I admire you.

I’m invested in you

I’m willing to give whatever you need. Whether it be time, money, or just listening ears, I’m all in. I will not leave you stranded.

I hurt for you

My heart breaks for you. Because of your value and worth to me, I feel the weight of your pains on my shoulders.

I will keep your secrets safe

The deepest and darkest places of your heart are valuable to me. I will never uncover them. I want you to confide in me, knowing my loyalty to you.

You are strong

In fact, you’re the strongest person I know. You hold your own, and you can do this. It’s okay that you are allowing the sting of pain to touch you. Just know a sting isn’t going to break you. You’re so much stronger than that.

A place in my heart is yours

You mean so much to me, and I will forever be in your corner.

I’ll love you through it

I won’t let you go. Nothing you do can make me love you less.

You will never walk alone

I promise the loneliness that you feel is a lie. I will hold you when you cannot hold yourself. Hold my hand; you’ll see how firm my grasp is.

Your life is valuable

I hope you know your beauty and worth. I hope that in this darkness, you see all your light. Your life is so precious.

I support you

I’m your biggest fan. I will not fear giving you my opinion, but even more so, I will not fear showing faithfulness to you.

I’m praying for you

I know that we are not capable of controlling anything, so I’m pleading that the One who is, heals your heart and restores your soul. He has so much love and care for you. I am praying you find comfort in Him.

I thank God for you

I praise Him for giving me you. Your life brings me joy. In your affliction, I still praise Him for a person as original as you. You are such a blessing.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Kristen Sack, ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
