I’ve gone back and forth on sharing this because I never want my page to feel like I’m constantly complaining or like everything is negative. But I also don’t want to come on here and pretend I’m okay when I’m not. The truth is, I’m struggling right now. Mentally, this has been one of the hardest seasons I’ve ever had to push through, and some days I genuinely don’t feel like myself. I know I’ll be okay. I know this isn’t forever. I know there’s a version of me on the other side of this that feels like me again. But right now, I’m not okay. And I think it’s okay to say that out loud. I’m still here. I’m still trying. I’m still finding little ways to keep going every day. I don’t need to have some perfect lesson or positive ending yet. Sometimes you can know things are going to get better and still admit that right now is really, really hard.
