we were runnin against the wind

for anyone who has that pit in their stomach, that hopeless ache, that certainty that things will be as hard as they are right now forever, please go drink a warm cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or even milk. sit down and sip slowly. please take the time to talk to yourself, remind yourself you've made it this far. "one day at a time" seems like a silly saying sometimes, especially when you feel that guilt and frustration that you aren't doing enough or that life is going nowhere fast for you. that saying holds a lot of merit, though. we need to remember life does and SHOULD look different for everyone, your own pace is your right. anxiety be damned, you're doing GOOD. go enjoy a warm drink and just breathe. pay attention to the way it feels going down your throat, listen to your own breathing, remember the people you love, think of a song or movie you love reliving over and over again. there truly are things in life to enjoy even in the trenches of depression and anxiety. and most importantly, even when it feels like a chore, please talk to the people who love you in this world. you deserve to talk to people and they deserve to love you.

entering adulthood without either of your parents or any guidance is a different kind of pain and struggle. if anyone is going through this, i know how you feel and i am wishing you peace. peace seems so far out of reach when you've struggled SO much and been through a lot in life but we're gonna find it one day honeys <3 i am always here to chat.
