It Will Get Better (Akan Menjadi Lebih Baik)

Say it out loud: This too shall pass.

Today might be especially difficult, it might be the day you feel like you lost everything. You are struggling and I know that you may not see the light at the end of the tunnel right now.

The e-mail you got that you were not given a job offer or you were not accepted to a program that you’ve worked so hard for. I’m here to tell you that it’s going to be okay. You have worked hard and you should appreciate yourself. I hope you understand that you have something special, you are brave enough to apply for those opportunities.

We’ve all heard it before, struggle is temporary, even though now it feels as though it would last forever. I know that it seems impossible to see an ounce of positivity from the rejection you’ve received but know that at one point you will feel better. Time does help with those negative emotions that you have.

For a second, I want you to take a moment and look back. There were times in your life when you felt like you couldn’t move forward but here you are right now. You have made it this far and it’s an incredible achievement. You have survived.

Know when it’s time to ask for help, it’s a sign of strength. It takes courage to overcome your fears, and it takes acceptance and love from yourself and from those around you to help heal your soul.
