i wish i could go back and tell her what i know now

and i realize: i’m only here because she kept choosing TO LIVE.

she chose patience when she wanted to run.
she chose faith when fear was louder.
she chose “one more day” when she didn’t have a plan, only a pulse.

and i wish i could go back and tell her what i know now:

you don’t have to be okay to be brave.
you don’t have to feel hopeful to keep going.
sometimes the miracle is simply that you stayed.

so if you’re reading this and you’re tired like that… the kind of tired that doesn’t have words…

please don’t underestimate what you’re doing.

you are building the future version of you with every small choice to keep living.
