Hey Lost,

Sorry you’re feeing bad. I think that empty feeling is something that almost all of us have and we try to fill it up with external things -relationships, clothes, cool toys, etc. But what I’m learning now is that you kind of have to fill that space up yourself by loving yourself and showing yourself a lot of compassion. Crying might be an ok way to sort of “mourn” whatever was filling that empty space before, but maybe you should couple it with some proactive measures to be kind to yourself and be there for yourself.

If you’re really feeling lost, it might be worth it to open up to someone you trust who you think could help guide you through this time. Being 16 is not easy -there are a lot of changes happening at that age, and you shouldn’t just assume that you will be able to adapt no problem. It will pass though, and I can promise you that life will not always be sad. 🙂

I wish you the best!
