To every young person struggling today: please hold on. Your current circumstances are not necessarily your final destination.
And to everyone around them: sometimes, a conversation, a little kindness, or simply staying with someone can make a difference.
Sometimes, surviving is an achievement.
Life can be incredibly difficult in Afghanistan. In recent years, I have come across many young men who are struggling with situations that are almost impossible to describe.
I once heard a sentence that stayed with me:
“When life is at its worst, sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is simply not let yourself be destroyed by it.”
