This was beautifully written, and as I share this, I can’t help but smile. I feel activated, valued, hopeful, and loved. I often say I’m not a writer, I’m a thinker and a feeler. But honestly, this is something I really need to sit with and reflect on. Reading this felt like a gentle push to get it together, paired with a warm, long hug, reassuring me that I’m on the right path with working, healing, and growing. Thank you 🤎

I commented on your powerful words and hope you see it. Had trouble trying to tag you. Although I kept putting your handle in, your full name popped up but didn’t come in post. Your WORDS moved me. Definitely printing this as a motivational piece. Just what I needed. Thank you 💕💕.

This piece was littered with bars but I'm going to be sitting with this one:

"Normalize how hard it is sometimes to keep the faith smiling through the pain because it feels like time is only prolonging the healing."
