Elena rybakina:If my Happiness really matter to you I’m hoping to get a “Cheer up” from…
It’s clear that you care, and that’s a precious thing—being truly cared for in a world that often feels indifferent can sometimes be the anchor we need to stay grounded. So if you’re reading this, and you’re hoping for a “Cheer up,” I want to let you know that you are not alone in whatever challenge you may be facing. The ups and downs of life are inevitable, but they don’t define who you are, nor do they hold the power to diminish your worth.
At this moment, I want you to know that it’s perfectly okay to feel the way you do. Emotions are not weaknesses; they are signals, guides that help us understand ourselves better and navigate through life. We’re not meant to be happy all the time, because joy and sadness, like all emotions, exist in a delicate balance. But here’s the truth—no matter what you’re going through, no matter how deep the struggle, there’s always hope. And sometimes, it’s okay to lean into that hope, even if it feels distant or faint.
When life throws challenges your way, it can feel as though you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Perhaps today, that weight feels especially heavy, or perhaps you’re simply exhausted from carrying it for so long. But just know that you have already demonstrated so much strength simply by continuing to show up every day, even when it’s tough. It’s easy to overlook our own resilience, but the fact that you’re still here, seeking a way forward, is a testament to the courage you possess.
Sometimes, in the midst of pain, we forget to pause and breathe. But even in those darkest moments, remember this: your pain doesn’t last forever. Like storms, it will eventually pass. And when it does, you’ll have the chance to see the sky again, brighter and clearer than before. Right now, your feelings might cloud your perspective, but don’t forget that, just as seasons change, so too will your emotional landscape.
Take this time to nurture yourself. You don’t have to have all the answers, and you don’t need to push yourself to “move on” quickly or be “strong” all the time. Give yourself the permission to rest, to heal, and to grow in your own time. You deserve that kindness from yourself.
I know it might feel hard to believe, but there is so much beauty in your journey. You might not always see it, but every challenge you face, every hardship you overcome, adds to the depth of who you are. You are a complex and intricate person, with unique experiences that give you a perspective that no one else has. And that perspective is valuable. It’s part of your strength, even if it doesn’t always feel like it in the moment.
Maybe right now, you’re feeling disconnected from the people around you, or you’re questioning the meaning of things. But know this: your value is intrinsic. It’s not dependent on external validation, nor on any singular moment in time. You are valuable because you are. Period.
I also want to remind you that even when things feel isolating, there is an entire world full of people who understand, who are walking their own paths with struggles, triumphs, and everything in between. Your pain is valid, but it doesn’t have to be something you carry alone. Reaching out to others, when you’re ready, can be a powerful step towards healing. It’s okay to ask for help, and it’s okay to share your story. Sometimes, just letting someone know how you feel can help lighten the load, if only for a little while.
It’s also important to keep in mind that there is no rush. Life’s pace is not a competition. Everyone’s journey unfolds differently, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Don’t let the expectations of others or society pressure you into believing that you need to be somewhere you’re not yet. You are exactly where you need to be right now, and this moment, no matter how difficult, will eventually lead to new growth.
I can’t tell you exactly when things will get better, but I can tell you that they will. The road may not always be clear, but your resilience, your strength, your ability to keep going despite the hardships—these things will see you through. Trust that the difficult moments, though painful now, are part of your story, and they will lead to wisdom, compassion, and understanding in the future.
Take things day by day. Don’t feel pressured to solve everything in one go. Healing, just like happiness, is a process. It’s okay to let it unfold at its own pace. You are worthy of that time and that grace. Sometimes, even when it feels like you’re moving backward, you’re actually laying the groundwork for the next steps forward. Progress isn’t always linear, and that’s okay. Trust yourself.
And if you ever doubt your worth, just remember: the world is a better place because you are in it. Your existence matters. Even in those moments where you may feel invisible or insignificant, know that you are part of a greater tapestry that is being woven every day. Your actions, your thoughts, your presence—however small they may seem—are part of something much bigger than you can see right now. But trust that, in time, the impact of who you are and what you do will become clear.
So, “cheer up” doesn’t mean dismissing what you feel, or pretending that everything is fine when it’s not. It simply means acknowledging that there is still room for hope, still room for healing, and still room for joy to return to your life. It means holding space for your pain while also believing that the best is yet to come. The strength you need is already within you—it’s just waiting for you to recognize it, embrace it, and allow it to guide you through the storm.
You are worthy of happiness. You are worthy of peace. And you are worthy of love, both from others and from yourself. Your journey is unique, and it’s one that will continue to evolve, with new opportunities for growth, joy, and peace awaiting you around every corner. So, take a deep breath. Hold on to hope. And when you’re ready, take that next step forward—knowing that you are stronger than you realize, and brighter days are ahead.
