Stop what you're doing and take a deep breath.

Something went wrong in your life. You did badly on a test, your boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you, you lost your job, etc. Whatever the case may be, it is going to be okay. I know it seems like it's not right now but it will be. You have survived so much in your life already. You can get through this too. I know you can. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. When you feel like all you can do is give up, don't. Never stop believing in yourself and never stop trying to reach your dreams.

Life isn't always going to be easy and when it's not, it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to be sad, upset or angry. It's okay to cry. It's okay to let it all out if you need to. It's okay if you're tired but don't give up. Sometimes, you have to jump hurdles to finish the race but you started the race, so why not finish it? You came all this way and accomplished too much to stop now. Keep going!

Even though it seems really bad now, you'll look at it later and realize it wasn't as bad as you thought. It'll just be another thing that you survived. You have to take it one day at a time. It'll get easier with time. I know you want it to be better now but time heals all wounds. Stop trying to rush the healing process because you won't recover fully if you don't give it enough time. It will get better. Even if it takes a while, I promise it will.

Don't let your situation define who you are. Just because you're going through a rough patch does not mean that there is something wrong with you. A lot of the time we like to be hard on ourselves when something goes wrong. If our boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with us, we like to think that it's because we aren't good enough. If we don't do well on a test, we like to think that it's because we're not smart enough. Sometimes, none of it is your fault and sometimes, none of it is under your control. This doesn't mean that you're not good enough or smart enough because you are more than enough. This is just going to make you a stronger person in the end. Every hurdle makes you a stronger. You might feel weak now but you'll be stronger and better later.

It's going to be okay.
