Recovery isn’t about getting back to who you were. It’s about building who you become.”
I believe that we’re here to be tested. To have life lessons. To enhance qualities of compassion, empathy and love. To grow.
Be patient with where you are right now. Growth isn’t linear, and treating yourself harshly when you’re struggling only slows down the healing you’re looking for.
My advice to you is this: be kind, to yourself and to others. It is the simplest of remedies.

You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
If opening your eyes or getting out of bed or holding a spoon or combing your hair is the daunting Mt. Everest you climb today, that is more than okay.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.
