I might always feel the anxiety pulling at my heart.
I might always question myself and struggle with self doubt.
It’s hard for me to ask for the boundaries I need to keep myself safe…
But every day I get out of bed and face the day…
That is a day I truly feel like I’ve won.
Because I am alive….
And of all the things we have, life is the easiest to take for granted…
Because we are given life every second and too late we realize it’s a gift…
No matter what I’m going through…
No matter what may happen…
Even if the worst I have feared comes to pass…
My mind and heart remain grounded in a home I have worked so hard to build.
A home with foundations of love and patience…
A home I will protect and take care of…
Even the smallest of steps feel like a milestone when they’re in the right direction.
