You have to survive in order to thrive.
Crawl, walk, run.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
We all want to be better people. We all want to do better.
But sometimes, some days, we just need to survive.
External factors show up.
Internal factors bubble up.
There is no instruction manual.
There is no such thing as normal.
As long as you’re not negatively effecting other people, it’s okay to just do what you have to do to make it through to the next day, the next hour, the next minute, the next choice, the next breath.
