Open Letter To Anyone Who Is Struggling In Life

You will be alright, I promise.

Open Letter To Anyone Who Is Struggling In Life
Allie Iver

To whoever is struggling with something right now:

Here is the thing you will be alright. I know that sounds insane and probably just downright cliché right now. You are just going through a difficult time and even though it may feel as though the end of the world is upon you I promise it isn't.

We have all had those moments from your heart being broken, the passing of a loved one, your parent's separation, and even your dreams not coming true. It sucks to be in that position, it sucks feeling as though the whole world is against you, it sucks not being able to find the happiness you once felt. See that's the thing you will feel that again.

There will be another guy to come along and make you feel as though the last one wasn't even worth a single tear.

Before you know it instead of feeling pain when thinking of your love one you will begin to think of the happy times, the happy memories and moments you shared and you will tell stories of them to your friends, family, and children. Don't get my wrong it still will hurt sometimes but you can't focus solely on the bad, don't you think they would want you to be happy?

As for your parents take this advice from someone who is a child of divorce, you will wake up every day and the sun will still shine and the birds will still sing and life will continue on. Your life will be completely altered but before you know it: it won't break your heart to think of how much life has changed. Instead, you will come to realize one very important thing in the words of Lilo and Stitch "My family is little and broken but good. Yeah, it's still good."

I am a firm believer in dreaming bigger and always having the courage to pursue your dreams no matter what anyone tells you. If one's dreams become unreachable or unachievable don't worry that's the amazing thing about dreams you can always find a new one.

So to whoever is experiencing a rough time in your life, you will be alright. It may not be today that everything goes back to the way it was before, it may not be in four months from now but I promise you will be alright. The sun will shine and life will continue on and before you even realize it you will rejoin life and everything will feel as though its back to normal. That's the key though your life will never be the same but that's the good thing change inspires brighter ideas, happier moments, and greater life experiences. Remember the words of Rex Allen, "There is a great big beautiful tomorrow!"

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
