focus on healing you are not your fear you are not your pain you are not your doubt you are not your past you are your own hope you are greater than voices inside your mind you are louder than the voice itself you and your hope are bigger than your pain

you are not required to be who you were yesterday just because they aren't comfortable with who you are today, you don't have to take steps back in your growth to meet them where their shallow understanding of you is, you are not responsible for carrying anyone's ideas of you.

There are older versions of you that only exist because other people give them oxygen, and you are not obliged to keep those versions alive to make other people happy.
