~ every moment matters
The biggest mistake people make when being faced with the reality of one who’s suffered depression and/or who have self harmed, is to ask, “when did this happen?” There is no one moment where this happened. Part is always crushed, part is always going into that hurt. It will always be a part of that person, a part of their past, or it can very well be part of their present, or even future. The temptation is always there, to go back to the darkness, to give up trying… But do not make the mistake to think we are broken. We are strong. We deal with these pieces every single day, trying to pull us back in. There is nothing more beautiful than one who is hurt, persevering towards freedom.
— a word for you, my strong ones : there will always be a battle to win – not won without difficulty. If you fall, get back up. You are not a failure to fall, but get back up again. Be strong for those who love you, those looking up to you . . Be strong for you. I made the mistake of convincing myself that no one loved me, that no one was looking up to me, but there are always people watching. Be a strong example. Be not strong for them, but for yourself first and foremost. Love yourself, you deserve it. Really, you do. I love you my dears ~ And you deserve to love and be loved.
