Some days I have to celebrate the small victories. I have to remember that no matter how small the accomplishment, it is still valid. Even if all I did was get out of bed; even if it was just to stretch, feed the cat, or have some tea. Even if I got right back in bed afterwards. I still accomplished something. No matter how small the step, or how insignificant it might seem, forward motion is still that; continuing forward.
There might be some days where it feels like Iâm sliding backwards, and I might not even get out of bed at all. I may just stay in bed and hug my stuffed animals, or my cat, or my partner, and just exist. But even then, I accomplished something. I didnât give up. I woke up. I decided to face the day, even if it was in a way that seemed like avoiding it. I kept going.
I donât know if anyone will ever read this apart from me, but I hope that if you are, you remember that you donât have to accomplish your entire lifeâs goals in one day; and that you are worth so much more than your productivity. Your worth is not measured by what society tells you theyâre willing to pay you for an hour of labor. Your worth is in the lives you touch, the smiles you share, and the amazing ability that the universe gave you to be exactly who you are.
Go ahead and take all the time you need. And when youâre ready, shine.
