To the youth and others, I hope this inspires you to never give up, to not lose faith. I know it’s hard. Even though you may feel lost and helpless, it will be alright.
You are stronger than you think. You are special and priceless. Do not give up hope. Where there is darkness there is light. Even when you feel and think you’re alone, you’re not. The struggles, trials and tribulations will only make you stronger and wiser. Never submit to the hardships. Do not lose faith.
