**“Feeling down? Confused or depressed? Let this sink in — there has never been a storm that lasted forever. After every storm, the sun shines again.

Remember, everyone fights battles. Some are heavier than others, but one thing is certain — every battle can be won with the right mindset. Don’t let the need for help embarrass you; reaching out for guidance is a sign of strength, not weakness.

The road you’re on might be rocky right now, but every step you take brings you closer to peace. When you overcome your trials, the journey ahead will be smoother — and the victory that much sweeter. Keep pushing, keep believing, and know that brighter days are coming.”**
