There are more people that acknowledge your presence than you are aware of, there are more people that care about you than you will ever realize. I have so many friends from over the years who sometimes I randomly hit up and I never realized before they told me that they actually really adore those moments that we do talk. Perhaps the cashier at the store will appreciate that you wish them a nice day, the busdriver likes that you greet them, perhaps that one stranger you held the door open for really appreciated that small gesture. Keep showing yourself to the world, you will influence more people than you will ever realize.

I promise that a beautiful and happy life is still obtainable for you, no matter how much of it you lost because of your trauma. It’s not fair that you lost so much of it due to trauma. And you deserved so much better. But you can still make a beautiful and happy life for yourself.

i’m proud of you for facing the days you really don’t want to face

To all who struggled in 2024 but made it through - I'm proud of you!
