I may not know everyone of you personally, but I wanted to reach out and proverbially hold your hand and let you know it’s going to be okay with a list of reasons why.
There is someone out there, at least one person in the world, who cares about your well-being and who you matter to. You may not believe this, but you also may not be the best judge of this right now. Sometimes we just don’t know how much we matter and to who.
We’re living in a day and age where feminism, gender fluidity, racial equality, LGBT rights, and overall social progress is becoming more and more accepted and embraced and fought for. And even at a divide, you'll have someone who's got your back.
There are numbers and online meetings and people of support which you can access without ever leaving your home. Consider calling or joining one if you need some help or have a chat. It may not always feel ideal, but it could be a start and is worth a shot.
There is such a thing as fresh starts, and second chances and new opportunities.
It's never too late to try something new or walk a new path. Barely anything, if at all, is set in stone.

Your feelings are valid, and so are you.
Even if you can't be open about it just yet, you will be able to at some point. And you're gonna be the happiest you've ever been.

Because while you may not know what the future holds, I trust you have the skills and ability to form it as you please and as feels right. You got this.
No matter how hard things seem right now, you always have some degree of choice and free will, somewhere, somehow, even if it’s “just” in how you choose to think about a situation. Don't let shit live rent free.
Nothing ever stay the same forever. That one bitch might move soon. You'll have enough money or a friend to move. Your uncle finally finds some sense. That shitty politician will finish their term. Those kids will grow up. Your sickness might be cured.
I love you.
You have (at least) one person in your life you could likely turn to if you needed to. A friend. A parent. Your therapist. Your neighbor. Your doctor. Your bird. Maybe even talk to yourself sometimes, really, it can help.
If you’re feeling uncomfortable or scared because you’re doing something you’ve never done before, know that this is totally normal and natural!
It’s natural to feel emotionally and physically uncomfortable when you act from new ways of being. Your discomfort may not last.

You have people in your life who see you, love you, and show up for you in the ways you want them to. Maybe not 24/7 but that only makes those moments worth even more. Cherish them.
Because there are people out there going through probably a remarkably similar experience as you right now and, if you ever meet them, you'll have a kindred companion who is also wishing to know someone like you to feel less alone, too.
Because this, too, shall pass
And we'll be here for it. I'll be here for it.
You're absolutely amazing. Don't sell yourself short.
Cheers.
