“Strength doesn’t mean never showing weakness. It doesn’t mean having it all together or never being afraid. It means being honest with yourself and about your struggles. No one makes it through life without falling apart for we are all wired for struggle. We all hurt and cry and crumble. Strength means feeling the fear and choosing to take steps anyways. Even if they are small, even if you take steps backwards. You may sit with anxiety and crawl through unshakable sadness and pain yet still find a way to show up and do the best you can. This is strength. It’s raw and ugly and imperfect and unbelievably difficult – but it’s still strength, and it’s you.”
