Some days, getting out of bed and making breakfast feels like a victory, and that’s okay. I’m learning to stop comparing my behind‑the‑scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel, and to celebrate the small wins that no one else sees.
Before the world told you who to be, there was a pure light inside you that needed no justification. That light is still there, undimmed by disappointment, untouched by failure. Turn your gaze away from the mirrors of others and look directly at it.
