Feeling Stuck

To the one who is feeling stuck,

Wait. You don’t have to scroll past this. This is not one of those letters which tells you it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling or tells you it’s a bad day and not a bad life. No. I know you’re tired of hearing the same bullshit again and again.

I am not writing this letter to tell you it’s okay to suck at things you love or that it is okay if you feel left out in your own group, no. I know it’s not okay. It’s the least okay anything can be.

I know exactly how it feels. How you feel you’re trapped inside a room, and even though you have the freedom to walk out through that door, you don’t know where you belong. You feel stuck, don't you?

This sadness, this feeling, it’s like a sunset. You cannot stop it. You cannot control it. You can only pause, look around, and wait until the sun finally sets and the sky paints a happy picture for you.

On some days, you try to remain hopeful that things will get better, but some days are just hard, you don’t know if you’re ever going to come out of this loop. On days like these, when every piece of you tells you to give up, I need you to think of something.

Which bad thing has stayed forever? You remember that first heartbreak? You wouldn’t get out of your bed for days and you wouldn’t eat properly or dress properly. Heck, you stopped giving a care about the world. But it got better, no?

You know what? There’s a loophole to feeling this way – it only gets you when you think you’re not getting out of it soon. But the day you get up with a smile and move out? That makes the difference.

You get accustomed to feeling this way; you make it your comfort zone, and it scares you to pop that bubble and face the world, again.

But hear me out – This isn’t the end to your story. This is just the beginning.
