This Journey is Brutal

My brain lies to me. It tries to break me. It tells me I’m not strong enough, not worthy enough. And some days I almost believe it. But here’s the truth: it’s just chemicals firing wrong. It’s not reality.

Still, this fight is brutal. It’s heavy and It’s exhausting in ways most people will never understand. And if you know this fight too, you already know — it’s not a destination you arrive at. It’s a road you walk. Step after step. Breath after breath.

But listen: you are stronger than your darkest thoughts. Stronger than the voice that tries to tear you down. Your worth is infinite. You matter. And no matter how loud the lies get, you will rise.

Rest when you need to. Show yourself the same grace you pour into others. Be gentle with your soul. That isn’t weakness it’s strength. It’s courage! It’s proof that you’re still here, still fighting, still alive and healing!
