I have this friend, one of the closest. He's been a brother to me...
He's hurting right now, and I feel like I'm a world away unable to help him, even in words.
He feels alone, like no one will understand.
He is turning against the ones he loves the most, because of a fear of rejection.
He is fragile, weak and easily influenced but still completely loyal to a fault.
He is ripe to be taken advantage of.
He has lost his way and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, nor see those that care about him most, reaching their hand out to him.
He is making dangerous decisions which could affect his life forever.
He is hurting the people who love him without even realizing it.
He is breaking my heart.
... but through everything he is going through, I can promise him this...
He might not love himself right now, and that's okay because the people in his life that matter most, myself included, have never stopped loving him. The sadness, the despair and loneliness will fade with time and one day he will again smile with ease. Physical possessions don't matter, because the love of your family and closest friends makes you the wealthiest person because a true love, one coming from a compassionate heart, the kind of heart I know beats in his chest, is priceless. We are the ones he can trust, we will hold his hand to give him strength, we will wipe the tears from his eyes, we will help him rediscover himself and we will be there to remind him he always has and always will matter. He deserves to be happy...
Take the bitterness and anger and set it aside, look at where you are and remember this...
You deserve better...
