Dear wonderful human,

I know life is hard. I know sometimes you feel like you cannot make it through this day, this week, and this year. You feel like you’re a failure, and that you cannot do anything right. You do not know what your purpose here on this earth is. These thoughts of unworthiness are coming from the darkness. The darkness is trying to convince you that you are not enough, that you can never be enough. It is trying to convince you that you can never succeed.

However, I am here to tell you that the darkness is wrong, completely and utterly wrong. You are one of the strongest people I know. You are worth more than you can imagine. You are not a failure. Life is hard, and you are doing a great job. You CAN do this. You are loved, and I believe in you.

Whenever the darkness tries to tell you these lies, think about how much good you have done in the world, and if you cannot think of anything, think about this: I believe in you. You are not a failure, because you have not given up. You are strong. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. Tell the darkness that it can just shut up because you're done listening to its lies.

Sincerely,
