Some people just don't want to hear, IT GETS BETTER, they say. Just get over it, they say. Some people just don't want to hear your positive quotes. Some people are just miserable right now and have no idea how to pull themselves out. I am feeling so much in the air right now, the girl across from me on the D train, holding back tears, clutching her JC Penney bag, face red... hopeless. Anything could have her feeling this way, perhaps she has been rejected one too many times. Maybe she lost a loved one. Maybe life is just not going her way right now. Some people are holding onto life by a string... others make it look like they have it all together, but their life is crap also. Some people just want to be heard. They want to be seen. They want their feelings validated. They want someone to tell them that they are absolutely justified in their assessment of what is happening in their lives. Others absolutely need a reality check and some therapy. There is not a person alive who isn't going through something. And so I am thinking about those of us who are sad and lonely right now. I am thinking about what I could say to give you some love and light and peace today. And I realize that I don't have the kind of magic that makes it just go away. I can't take your pain away. What I can do is let you know that I love you. I feel you. I see you. And I am here. FULL READING ON MY YOUTUBE. Subscribe. Link in bio.
