Take a moment and really look at how far you’ve come. All the things that tried to break you? You rose anyway. All the days you wanted to quit? You kept showing up. That strength, that resilience, that softness that refuses to harden? That’s something to be deeply proud of. You don’t need to wait for some big finish line to celebrate yourself. Rising, even in the smallest ways, is worthy of applause. So give yourself some credit—you’ve earned it.
