I was reading a beautiful poem about just doing what you can when you are sad or suffering, it said "just stop and rest" then "do some more". I am learning to stop, have a cry, have a nap, then keep going... each time, the tears get less intense...
So if you're going through something tricky and painful right now, stop and rest, cry if you need to, then back yourself, and gently, ever so gently...keep going. Just one foot in front of the other. I am sending so much love to anyone who is trying their best atm. It's tough out there, but you have yourself, the SANE community, and the wonder of the world around.... even a dew drop is beautiful. Also, I personally have a fluffy unicorn 🦄 that I hug when there's just no words..... highly recommend having a fluffy toy to hug 🫂 Sparkles to all.
PS I'm seeing for first time what I've allowed in my life via a DV ex-relationship. I'm feeling truly hopeful ☺️
