Read this, Dear Someone, if you're questioning whether having a good heart is a blessing or a burden, and wondering if your tendency to see the best in people has become your greatest weakness.

Those who have taken advantage of your good heart reflect their own limitations, not yours. Their inability to honour your trust speaks to their poverty of spirit, not your excess of faith. Their failure to match your depth of feeling reveals their shallow waters, not your overflow of emotion.

Be grateful for all the pain you felt on the road to peace. Be grateful for the little things. Be grateful for the nights that turned into mornings. Be thankful for friends that became family. Be thankful for the dreams that became reality. Be thankful for those who left you. Be thankful for those who couldn't keep their promises. Be thankful for the people who stayed in your life. Be grateful for the drama around you. Be grateful for the hard lessons; they have made you stronger.

Read this, Dear Someone, if you're loving someone who seems determined to push you away, sabotage your relationship, or make you pay for caring about them.

Your love isn't wrong just because they can't accept it. Your heart isn't misguided just because they don't believe they deserve it. Your feelings aren't invalid just because they can't understand them.

Read this, Dear Someone, if you've finally realized that sometimes love alone isn't enough to bridge the fundamental differences between two hearts.

Read this, dear someone, if you're carrying the weight of unspoken words for someone who no longer wants to hear them, and your heart still holds space for a connection they've chosen to end.

"Sometimes your only closure, Dear Someone, is knowing that you had a good run and a learning experience. Sometimes your only closure is acceptance and self-love. Sometimes, it is in understanding that you deserve better and moving forward. Sometimes the "blessed mess" they put you through is the closure that you need. Other times, their disrespect, indifference, and lack of remorse are all the closure you need. Their actions and silence are all the explanation."

—A compendium of brutally honest letters and a true companion for those who need to uncover the hidden blessings within life's most challenging moments, Reliable is a book filled with letters to myself and to you, written to help you indulge in your feelings and find strength in them.
