Survive

If I had to sum up this year in one word, it would be survive.

Honestly, it felt like a relentless test, with one challenge after another. There were moments I broke in ways I didn’t think possible – letting go of plans I clung to, wrestling with doubts that refused to quiet down, and carrying responsibilities that felt unbearably heavy. There were nights when my thoughts felt louder than I could bear, nights I wasn’t sure I could get through.

But somehow, I’m still here. And this year has taught me a powerful truth: survival doesn’t mean having it all figured out. Sometimes, survival is just finding the courage to wake up and try again, even when nothing feels like it’s changing.

What matters most, I’ve learned, is the quiet strength to keep moving forward when life makes it hard. It’s in those moments of struggle that we discover just how resilient we truly are.

So, while this year wasn’t easy, it left me with a deeper appreciation for my own perseverance. I’m tougher than I thought, and that’s something I’ll carry with me into the next chapter.

To anyone who feels like they’re just getting by – know that surviving is a victory in itself. Keep going. You’re stronger than you think. 💛
