Shame lies. Guilt twists things. Pain wants to convince you that you're beyond saving. But you're not. You're a human being in pain, and that pain doesn't make you broken or worthless. It makes you someone who's surviving a fucking war inside their own head.
Don't think about twelve months. Think about the next hour. Drink some water. Stand up. Breathe. Let yourself just exist, even if it doesn’t feel like enough. It is.
You're not alone, even when your mind says you are. And even if no one else says this today: I’m glad you're here.
Stay.
Even just a little longer.
