@ItsSimplyNessie Sending hugs your way. Itโs okay to let yourself feel. No one can be strong 100% of the time - and sometimes the strongest people are the ones willing to admit theyโre going through stuff. ๐ if you ever need to talk, Iโm here.
In a wedding in Lancaster, PA this weekend & apparently @ShawnMendes is in PA according to the radio, which makes my musical heart happy.๐ Small world! Plus the venue had palm trees which give me an instant smile every time. When life gives you palm trees, donโt question it.๐ด๐
I wish embracing empathy was an act of common sense to more people. The world would be better off if more people tried to understand what others go through. ๐
I donโt think a younger version of myself would recognize who I am today. I still cling to the empathy, the genuine kindness, the hopefulness and the expression through the arts that kept me going as a kid. Those still keep me afloat and drive my resilience.
I often donโt give myself credit for the things Iโve overcome. I kind of wish that was just a natural thing for me to allow myself to recognize. Either way, I actively seek out opportunities to make sure others donโt have to go through the same things I did alone.
I wish people realized more that just because someone is kind and tries to keep a smile on their face and see the positive for themselves and others- doesnโt mean they donโt struggle. Sometimes it means they struggle immensely and have to make an effort to keep going every day.
