You’ll be okay again, self. I promise you that.
Not today maybe. Not tomorrow either. But one day, you’ll wake up and the weight on your chest won’t feel so heavy anymore. You’ve been carrying so much in silence. Smiling when you were breaking. Showing up when you were already tired. Being strong because you felt like you had no other choice. There were nights you cried quietly so no one would worry. Days you questioned your worth. Moments you wondered if this pain would ever end. But look at you. You’re still here. Breathing. Trying. Hoping, even when hope felt dangerous. Healing isn’t loud. It doesn’t arrive with fireworks or instant peace.
Sometimes it comes slowly. In small moments. In deeper breaths. In the way you start choosing yourself again. One day, you’ll laugh and realize it didn’t hurt as much as it used to. One day, you’ll look back and see how brave you were for staying. For not giving up on yourself when everything inside you wanted to. So hold on. Rest when you need to. Cry when it hurts. But never forget this. You are not broken. You are becoming. And one day, you won’t just be okay again. You’ll be stronger, softer, wiser…and proud of the version of you that survived what almost destroyed you.
