I’ve spent years living behind a veil. This photo was taken nearly 10 years ago. I refused to show my eyes because if felt like the tell would be obvious that I wasn’t as happy as I seemed. Yet, this is one of my favourites. I think I may have been the most content with myself at this time. Little did I know that I would grow stronger with each day after that. I struggle. Often. But I am stronger than I ever have been and I know so much more about myself now than I did then. Give yourself time to build. Give yourself time for strength. Never give up, even when I all seems hopeless. A new day will come that will convince you otherwise and you’ll be thankful you gave yourself time to heal. And lastly, you need to know… You are never alone. You will find support and love in the most peculiar of places if you give yourself the opportunity to accept love, be okay with your weirdness, and move on from the things that hold you back and don’t allow you to grow. Life can be good. Always keep fighting. ❤️ #worldmentalhealthday #alwayskeepfighting #supportishere #iloveyou #theworldneedsyou #lightattheendofthetunnel #yougotthis #forgiveyourself #beyoutiful #acceptyourweird #beyourownhealer #beyourownchampion #thegoodwillcome https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3RC91rM-5/?utm_medium=tumblr
