Just popping up to say… you survived things you never talk about.
I’m proud of you.
And I hope you’re proud of you too, even if you don’t always feel it.
You carried heavy moments this year with so much grace that no one even noticed how much strength it actually took.
You kept showing up. You kept trying.
You kept loving, even on days when your heart felt tired.
That matters more than anyone knows.
People don’t see the nights you overthink everything, the mornings you push yourself out of bed when your soul feels low, the battles you fight just to make it through the day. But you see it.
You lived it.
And you’re still here softer, wiser, stronger.
Give yourself credit for the chapters you healed from in silence.
For the boundaries you set.
For the endings you didn’t want but still accepted.
For the growth no one clapped for but you still chose.
You’re allowed to be exhausted.
You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to feel proud of how far you’ve come without having every detail figured out.
This season, choose gentleness with yourself.
Choose gratitude for the resilience you forget you have. Choose to honor the version of you that kept going when giving up felt easier.
You survived so much and you’re still becoming more than you imagined. 🤍✨
Sending love your way 💗
