For Whoever Needs To Hear This
Recenter yourself, remember where you are, where you were ten minutes ago before your mind started to fall and fail you, before it started to spiral downward into the abyss of this year. Breathe into yourself, your center. Remember the light and life that you are, even amid all of this darkness.
Remember the depths at which you’ve waded before, crevasses encompassing you, moments of loss, abandonment, disappointment. Broken hearts. Those were the moments you thought you’d never survive, and yet here you are.
Feel your feet on the ground, the wind through your hair, the fabric of the warm coat around you. Face into the sun, the moon, the overcast clouds surrounding you, and fill your lungs. Do not let your mind run away with you. You have overcome more than what is at hand, more than what lays at your feet this day, this morning, these twilight hours. You are a fighter, a survivor. Someone who never gives up. Set your mind aside and stay within your breath, your soul. Say hello to your light once again.
