This letter is to you.

The you that's had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm clouds.

The you that feels invisible. The you that doesn't know how much longer you can hold on. The you that has lost faith. The you' that always blame yourself for everything that goes wrong.

To you.

You are incredible.

You make this world a little bit more wonderful.

You have so much potential and so many things left to do.

You have time.

Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there.

You can do it.
