Rest if you need to – those who try are worthy of pause.
Cry if you need to – those who try do not need to be strong all the time.
Vent if you need to – those who try have a right to release their frustration;
they carry enough as it is.
Celebrate if you need to – those who try deserve recognition cupcakes, flowers, and notes.
Accept yourself if you need to – those who try are entitled to loving themselves
right where they are.
And where you are right now, brave self, is quite remarkable.
