Not everyone will see how much you struggle every day. Not everyone will see the efforts that you make to go on with your life and to survive all that you are going through lately. At the end of the day, when you lock yourself in your room, you are the only one who will see the vulnerable version of yourself after a long, tiring day of holding back all the feelings that you never want the world to see. But I hope you stop being too hard on yourself. I hope, somehow, that you will also try to be gentle with yourself because the world is not going to do it for you sometimes.
May you have time to do something kind for yourself today. Pour yourself something that will help you feel loved and valued. Be proud of every little progress that you make in life and acknowledge the courage that you always try to show, even on the days that you feel like you badly want to give up. Life should not always be about surviving, but there you are—facing the world resiliently. You are the only one who knows exactly that you've done so much already just to bear the pressure, burden, and all the agony in life. You've already been through a lot, and that's exactly a reminder to you that you deserve to be kinder with yourself.
