When you are fishing in turbid waters

And it is dripping into your soul

When all the secrets are betrayed and you feel lost

When the compass shows only heaven and hell

When your senses become blur

When you can’t forgive yourself

Nobody won’t extinguish your fire

What nobody knows

I will find out for you

From every maze

From every blackmail

I will let you out

I will extinguish every curse

I will guide you through the deepest valley

I will cut you away from the stakes of martyrdom

I am spinning around you

Hi, this is Diddly, Diddly the Dot.

Diddly sees you sad.

Diddly comes to hug you.

Diddly trips. Don't worry, he rolls. He just rolls with it.

Diddly bumps in to your foot.

Diddly looks up at you. Diddly waves.

Then Diddly hugs you and says,

"You good. Stay good. Smile good."

Diddly pats you. You is Diddly's friend.

Diddly accepts you. So You accept you.

Diddly wuves you.

Diddly.

Every day, do something that makes you happy. It doesn't have to be smiling/laughing, just something you want to do. Every day there's something worth the effort, no matter how small. It's okay to need time or do things just for yourself - you're a terrific person and you're definitely worth it. Break the day as small as you need to keep things manageable, make a list if it helps. Things may not be great right now, but trust they'll get better. If you don't feel like trusting yourself, trust your friends/family. They believe in you because you're worth it.

Worry not, at the end every tunnel, there is light, and it calls out to you and only you. Can you feel the warm summer rays kissing your cheek like the whisper of one‘s love? Can you hear the wind rustling the leaves of a mighty oak tree, singing to you in the voices of tiny bird chirping to each other? This world is yours, take it, tell the cloud to move out of the way of this beautiful world.

“Echo, I need a piece of advice.”

“Go ahead, you old man.”

“See, I am trying to teach a few good tricks to an alligator so he can look very smart to his buddies, but he is not able to hear me well from under the water. He wants to quietly sit by me and learn the tricks right. He also tells me he is very allergic to duct tapes. Do I let him sit by me and learn?”

“You dummy, the predators remain quiet before they attack. It’s the perfect calm before the storm.”

“Oh, I see.”
