Yes, you! 💚
I've had a pretty s**tty day today. No clients and still in this flare-up that sends me different symptoms each day as well as other stuff going on. So, I've napped for most of the day and eaten far too many snacks.
So this is to the ones that do a lot for others and forget about yourself
To the ones who are carrying too much
To the ones who are surviving hour to hour
To the ones who don't feel able to engage
To the ones who fight microagressions and discrimination
To the ones who feel alone, isolated, down, depressed, and unappreciated
To all of you fighting fights you don't talk about every day
I see you. It's so hard. It can be so challenging to put so much of yourself into the world around you and not feel like you get much back!
I can't promise you that it will get better because I can't predict the future, but I hope it will, and I hope you find something to make the days lighter and the difficulties more manageable.
For me, this is my dogs, my partner, my garden, my community, my work, my hobbies, my own personal therapy, etc.
Some days, it works, and some days, I just need to take the day.
I hope that sharing my story and experiences on here resonates with you and makes you feel less alone in it all. I am always so humbled by messages sent to me in private to share gratitude and your own experiences. It's nice to know I'm not alone in it all, too!
You matter 💚
