Brave Babe

Depression can be paralyzing, it steals time, it steals life. Being low on spoons makes it more difficult to fight. I'm still here though.

▪ I may be glued to the couch,
▪ I may be crying a lot,
▪ I may be eating a bit too much chocolate cake, but
▪ I'm. Still. Here.

• • •

▪ It's my choice to go on for one more day, and I am.
▪ It's my choice to hide from the world while I sort out my pain, and I am.
▪ It's my choice to retreat inward and contemplate the condition of my soul, and I am.

Everybody struggles with something, and what's most important is that you make the choice to work through it in the way that's best for you.

• • •

Don't feel pressure or shame when others (or your own inner critics) tell you that you're going about your healing all wrong...
▪ stop
▪ listen to your soul
▪ it knows what it needs
▪ now honor that need.
Be true to yourself, and live to fight another day like the brave babe that you are♥
