your path suggest

You are not alone. Do you know that? No matter how you feel, what things you’ve gone through, someone else has sat where you sit now. 

It's okay to take your time in sharing your story. I hope you feel comfortable opening up (or not opening up) at your very own pace, and to the people you choose.

Sometimes things take awhile, to heal, to process, to clear out. That doesn't mean you're going nowhere.

what you're dealing with now is so huge. You have no idea what your life will look like beyond this. Hang on for that unknown future

you realize one day that you do not have to be perfect. It's okay if you talk too much about one thing, or if you take up too much space or make too much noise. You've been told, either by yourself or others, that if everyone isn't totally happy with you 100% of the time, you have done something Wrong. But it's alright if your friends or family are sometimes annoyed by you! that's perfectly healthy and normal. You get to voice your desires, and wants, and needs, even if they contradict someone else's. You've been trying to squeeze into everyone else's ideas of perfect for so long that you've lost sight of yourself. It's okay. You don't have to do that anymore. you stretch into your new skin, feeling the sun warm against your body. You are here.
