Fearfully and wonderfully made.

You can still be the person you want to be, my love. Mistakes, setbacks and bad days do not erase your progress. No matter how tough life might seem at the moment, remember that you are still rising despite the weight. Bad days do not make you a bad person. Accept them as they come, let yourself feel and then learn from them. A difficult time does not take away your growth - difficult times actually help you become the person you are meant to be. You are doing such a great job.

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.
