I’m right here

The holidays are supposed to sparkle. They’re wrapped in lights and music and expectations that say this should be the happiest time of the year. But for so many people, this season feels heavier instead of brighter.

Grief gets louder. Loneliness settles in. Old memories knock when you’re already tired. Mental health doesn’t take a holiday break just because the calendar says it’s time to celebrate.

If this season feels harder for you, I want you to know something simple and true: I’m here if you need me.

I’m here on the days when getting out of bed feels like an accomplishment.
I’m here when the silence is too loud or the noise is too much. I’m here when you don’t have the words, or when you have too many and don’t know where to put them.

You don’t have to explain why you’re struggling. You don’t have to compare your pain to anyone else’s. And you definitely don’t have to pretend you’re okay just to make others more comfortable.

Sometimes being “here” looks like a conversation. Sometimes it looks like sitting quietly beside someone. Sometimes it’s a text that just says, “I’m thinking of you.”

And if you’re the one reading this thinking, I wish someone would say that to me this is me saying it. You matter. Your feelings matter. Your presence in this world matters, even on days when it doesn’t feel like it.

The holidays can amplify everything we try to tuck away the rest of the year. That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

So if you need a safe place to land, I’m here. If you need someone to listen, I’m here. If all you can do today is survive, that is more than enough and I’m still here.

You don’t have to carry this season alone. Email me, text me, call me. If you need that information, head over to my about me page 🤍

Love,
Jennifer ❤️

  3. Your kindness here is so heartfelt. And very beautiful beyond words! I sure can attest to you being there for me in some of the darkest times imaginable. So I know you mean what you say! I really hope if someone needs you that they would come to you. I couldn’t think of a safer place for them. You truly are one of the most beautiful souls in this whole big wide world! I know a lot of people already see that. But, I want even more to see all that you are!
    I’ve said this many times before because you’re an incredible writer with so much depth beyond what we call the soul, but I’ll say it once again, I think this is your best writing! Hands down! It’s truly beautiful! And it mirrors exactly the beautiful soul that wrote it! I hope you know how much I appreciate you! ❤️🙂

    • Wow, what a beautiful comment ❤️ I know I’ve said this before to you, but I just want to be the type of friend that I always needed and didn’t have. I know what it feels like to not have that. I’m beyond grateful that I could be there for you when you needed soneone the most. You and I are one in the same and grew up in much of the same way, so we understand. Keep being you and keep giving back.

      I appreciate you too, very much so. ❤️🙂
