I just wanted to share something that's been on my mind lately. I was going through some old texts and photos the other day, and it made me realize how much I’ve changed over the past year or two, not just on the outside, but mentally and emotionally too.
There were times when I honestly didn’t think things would get better. I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and like I was always one step away from falling apart. But somehow, slowly, things started to shift. I started opening up more, even just to myself. I let myself feel things instead of pretending I was fine all the time. I asked for help when I needed it (which wasn’t easy at all), and I started giving myself credit for the small wins.
Now, I still have hard days. I still overthink and get anxious. But I’m learning to be kinder to myself. I’ve grown stronger in ways that aren't always obvious like setting boundaries, taking care of my mental health, and just showing up for myself, even when it’s hard.
So if you're in a rough place right now, please hang on. Progress doesn’t always look like a big breakthrough. Sometimes it’s just waking up and trying again. And that counts for a lot more than you think.
Thanks for reading and keep your head up.
