4 years ago, I lost my brother tragically when he was 20 years old. which resulted in an ongoing battle with ptsd and depression, an irreplaceable hole carved into my family, an emptiness in all of us,
⠀
and a story unfinished.
⠀
and although grief comes in waves, and I’m still a pretty awful surfer,
⠀
life is still worth living.
⠀

⠀
for so long i’ve felt like speaking up about grief would make me a weak person. or someone who didn’t belong. I felt that in sharing my struggles, I would no longer fit the mold of the happy social media gal who has a semi-cute butt and dabbles in fitness. I thought I had to silence a part of my life for the sake of conforming to a standard I would never fit into.
⠀
but here’s the thing I’ve learned:
⠀
we can never squeeze into spaces that were never meant to carry our story?
⠀
and only when we stop trying so hard to fit in, we can grow authentically?
⠀
my goal here isn’t to paint a smile over distress - or to share sadness with no positive intent.
⠀
rather my goal is to share how life can still be a beautiful thing in spite of the ugly.
⠀
that we can still live in spite of the pain,
⠀
and you don’t need a picture-perfect story book to do this?
⠀
so whatever it may be that you’re going through, big OR small, your struggles are valid. and you have all the power in you to overcome it.
⠀
but please give yourself the permission to be truthful to who you are. owe every inch of your journey. and don’t stop fighting for your growth??
⠀
(with all this said, this time away has given me a newly ignited fire to come back online with more strength - I can’t wait to send this energy your way???)
