Yesterday was a bad day. It was a day full of so many tears and a unwavering feeling of hopelessness. A day struggling with the desire to just not exist anymore.
But I got through it. One moment at a time. And today is a better day. Today is a day where I feel like I can take the dog out for a walk. Today I feel like I may take a shower. Today I feel like I can interact with others (for at least a few minutes). Today, I consider a good day… maybe not to the standards of most, but for me, its a good day.
And that’s OK. That is amazing… for me. Celebrate what is amazing for you. Find the small victories and allow them to keep you afloat, because it’s too easy to drown in the darkness. Take a moment and breathe. Take a moment and feel proud for the amazing little moments that help us keep going. Help us keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Survival is all that matters. Waking up another day ready to fight for our lives… fight for our hopes and dreams for our futures. That’s what matters.
So dig in my friends. Because there is a good day just around the corner. And everyday we survive we win and we take a step forward. I know it doesn’t feel like it sometimes, or maybe even most times, but there IS hope.
