Never Alone

» 43

just so you know,

you are not alone.

life is tough. you are exhausted, burnt out, maybe even quietly breaking in ways you can’t fully talk about.

you’ve been trying to stay positive, hoping, wishing, anticipating.

you know it can get better. you’ve heard it gets better with time.

“but… when is that time?”

that’s the question, right?

here’s the truth:

you are not alone.

in your struggles, you are not a strange exception. there are billions of people trying to make sense of life, just like you.

figuring things out.

failing.

starting all over again.

life goes on, yes.

but also, for the one who chooses to believe, life gets better.

maybe not quickly,

maybe not obviously,

but surely.

so don’t grow weary.

don’t cave in.

don’t throw in the towel just yet.

keep holding on.

keep praying.

keep believing.

keep hoping.

keep expecting.

you will arrive at the expected end.

and always remember:

you are never alone.

your mate in becoming,

Dami the Builder.

side note:

I haven’t written to you this year. honestly, I’m sorry about that. it wasn’t intentional. life just happened.

the year began with exams, and they didn’t go as planned. there have been setbacks, real ones. and if I’m being honest, I’m still in that phase.

still in the dry season. still in the stretch that feels empty and unyielding.

but like I said earlier, this is me reminding myself, while telling you:

I am not alone.

and somehow, deep down, I know this.

I will make it out.

alive, better, and stronger.

if this resonated with you, you’re not alone in this season either. we will find our way through, one step, one prayer, one day at a time.
