The truth is, no one is coming to hand you your confidence, your peace, or your clarity.
They must be claimed.
​​​
I understand the weight that is carried, the pressure to hold it together, to push through, to prove yourself again and again. But strength isn’t about pretending you’re fine. It’s about doing the work that lets you actually be fine.
​
This won’t be easy. But easy isn’t the point. The point is to stop just getting by and start thriving. ​
The work is challenging but the reward is freedom.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
​
— Henry David Thoreau, Walden (1854)
