In a flood of tears up to my neck and the sun burning my red, swollen eyes, I felt beads of sweat starting to trickle down my face and the back of my neck.

I won’t surrender to self-pity, nor wear a facade.

I’m breathing, so therefore I must live. I’ll be taking baby steps, but as long as I’m stepping, I know it’s in a positive direction.

Each day brings me closer to you.💜
