If you're reading this...

Great! I want you to know that you might be wondering if anyone out there feels the way you do. Well, the answer is yes. It may be hard to fathom sometimes, but people do go through what you're going through. It may be in a different condition, situation, under different circumstances. But someone else feels the way you do.

Don't worry if you're feeling alone. I feel the same way too. A lot. Almost all the time. But I find comfort in knowing that, once in a while, someone cares. It happens at the most random of moments. When you need it most. A stranger would walk up to you and say he loves your smile. A child would hold on to your fingers for more than three seconds and smile. Someone would write you a long note, telling you that they were listening when you thought no one was. A friend would hold you close and let you cry on his shoulders, with snot running down your nose.

Hang on. There will be an answer. Wait for it.

In the meantime, smile. You never know when someone notices your smile. It might just brighten up their day. They might be walking for an audition and you might have just thrown them such a beautiful smile that makes them forget for a split second how nervous they were. Or you could have calmed their nerves down a little.

Continue living life. You might think the ordinary things you do are just too ordinary - taking a shower, putting on clothes, stepping out of the house. But what you may not realise is that someone might have noticed the way your hair falls in your face and how beautiful it looks. You may not know that they notice the shirts you wear and what they say. And how much they can relate. Or how it makes them smile.

Maybe the pain will never really go away completely. But living in the moment, savouring every sensation, every touch, every embrace, every colour of the spectrum (and oh what a broad spectrum life is!) can lead you to so many things - so many chances, so many instances, so many coincidences.

And sometimes, maybe once in a while, a coincidence can lead you to the best thing in your life.
