You are human. Not a machine. The mistakes you make do not call for a system reboot. If or when your healing doesn’t go as smoothly as you had hoped, there doesn’t have to be a call to scrap your plans and admit defeat. Instead, reach for forgiveness, for grace. For the space and permission to allow yourself to be whole and messy and human. Hard days happen—hell, hard years happen—and our moments of weakness are not weak at all. They’re opportunities to be honest, real, and vulnerable. To pause and learn, and then continue growing. Progress over perfection. Rest over hustle. Compassion over criticism.”
