Letter to the stranger - 1

Dear stranger,

Hold it tight. I know what you're gripping right now. Thoughts. Thoughts that keep you up at night and alone during the days. You're taking in a lot right now and you don't know how to just let them go. You're anxious over the mere thought of letting go. You think that letting go wouldn't help. How would it help? Right?

But let me show you where you're quite wrong - maybe just the way of thinking.

There's a lot that keeps you occupied throughout the day and night. But note it down, stranger - these thoughts are universal. These bits of thoughts are tinier than you think yet are strong enough to disable your entire brain, diable your happiness, your peace of mind. This is the little piece of advice running in my mind right now. Don't switch off your thoughts. Just modify them. Make them as light as you can. Move slow, with the flow.

Accept the conditions as they are and remember, you are not in this alone. You never were. There are a million other people who are in worse conditions, who can't read this, who do not know what it means to be motivated or elevated in thoughts and deeds. But what they know makes them stronger than you are - their faith. They have faith in their faith. Faith that tells them that these dark clouds are temporary, that the sun shall rise again soon. 

But to experience the sun rising, you must cling on - you must go on with the same conditions until that day when things begin to change for the better. Better days will arrive and you will experience the most of it if you learn how to survive the dark clouds. Remember that whatever you're going through now shall be worth the beauty of the days to come. 

We all pass through dark nights. They may feel longer to you, they may feel suffocating. But listen to the breeze, open up and breathe. Listen to the air and the land underneath your feet. Do you not think that they would miss your presence? Do you not feel that they're meant to be felt - the air and the land? Haven't they seen the same dark days someday? Yes, they have seen it all, known it all. But they have clung unto us - the humans - hoping for better coordination and existence with us. And we ought to keep the same hope alive. 

Keep your soul alive. Don't switch off your thoughts - modify them for a better sunrise. Remember you're not alone, you never were.

Yours lovingly,

The writer.
