Be proud of how hard you’re trying.
Even if the results haven’t shown up yet, your effort matters. Progress isn’t always visible, but every step, every decision and every act of perseverance is shaping something greater. Keep going, your discipline is already a win.

Healing isn’t a straight line. I rebuilt myself little by little each day. With meditation, writing, and the support of close ones, I learned to rise again. I cherish my journey its ups and downs taught me the true value of rising.
