When You Feel Like No One Cares

Hey, guys. It’s me, Dai. Notice the lack of exclamation points. I’m having a hard day. I know it’s untrue, but I’ve been feeling like no one cares about me. That’s a lie, of course, because God cares about me. Always. And my parents, and my siblings care about me too. But there are times when I just want them to do something out of the ordinary for me. I know that’s saying a lot because I recently celebrated my birthday. I cried myself to sleep on my birthday night. I guess that’s pretty selfish and maybe even a little silly. But I just felt disappointed and like a disappointment. I felt like I had failed and like my family had failed on me.

I don’t know if you’ve ever hurt inside and wondered what you are missing, what is keeping you from feeling content. I just don’t know. But I do know that if this feeling ever comes up, you should never shut it inside. Talk to someone. Tell God about it. Maybe ask your parents if you can see a counselor. Just don’t go it alone, because your feelings will quickly nosedive until you feel as if you have no control.

I’m telling you this because I love you and I get you. Mr. Rogers said, ‘There is only one like you in the whole world. There’s never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be again.‘ So make sure you take care of you. And remember that the same is true about others, so treat them like it. Rest and recover, my friend. You are never alone. Never ever.

Until next time…

Keep on dreaming.
