You are still breathing. You still have time.
Healing does not expire.

You might feel like you missed your chance.

Like you should have healed by now, or started earlier, or figured everything out already.

But as long as you are breathing, it is not too late.

Every breath you take is proof that you still have time.

Time to begin again.

Time to rebuild.

Time to change direction.

You are not too old.

You are not too broken.

You are not too far behind.

You are alive, which means you still have possibility.

You can take one small step today, even if it feels tiny.

That is how every new beginning starts.

Your past is not the final chapter.

This is your moment.

Begin again.

What is one small beginning you can make today? Comment it here.

You are not your anger. You are not your pain.
They’re visitors, not who you are.

When you’re angry or in pain, it feels like those emotions are you.

You say, I am angry. I am hurting.

But what if you could step back and simply watch the anger, observe the pain, without becoming it?

The moment you separate yourself from what you feel, you begin to take your power back.

You realize that anger and pain are passing states, not your identity.

Try this next time a wave hits you:

Pause.

Breathe.

Notice the feeling as something happening in you, not something you are.

That’s the first step to peace of mind — awareness of mind.

What emotion have you been identifying with lately?

The world’s opinions change every day. Your value doesn’t.

So much of your energy gets spent trying to earn someone else’s approval.
You shape your choices, your words, even your dreams around how others might perceive them.

But stop for a moment and ask yourself:
What difference does their approval or disapproval truly make to who you are?

Their opinions shift like the wind and they only see you through the lens of their own fears, expectations, and insecurities. None of that changes your worth.

The peace you’re looking for begins the moment you stop trying to be understood by everyone, and instead, understand yourself.

You don’t need permission to be who you already are.

How much of your life has been shaped by trying to please others?

Understanding rejection

Sometimes I look back on some of my relationships, the ones where they already had another boyfriend before they ended up dumping meeven my ex wife, and I think how cruel that actually is. My last relationship i gave it my all she had five kids and I helped her with Dr appointments taking the kids to school helping around her house and even in my condition but I did it for her kids it gave me a sense of purpose . Before I met her I was already disabled with 6 of the eight back surgeries already done she said had no problem with that

The relationship lasted eight months she was only using me until her supposed ex husband got out of jail. All the romance she threw my way and I reciprocated I was in heaven.

Long boring story but I am really starting to question who I am how could I let this woman walk all over me e and not see it coming. I consider myself not to be a dumbass but it wasn't only her i have let people do this to me for a long time even supposed good friends . What makes a human being be so stupid when it comes to being able to detect someone is hurting you? Maybe it's my low self esteem humble people are easy to con but I don't understand why I let it go so far 💙 #MDD #PeripheralNeuropathy #allidynia #dd d#Diabetes #Disability #hyperalges ia#MuscularDystrophy #RareDisease

This mindset is secretly keeping you stuck.

We wait for the perfect moment — the right mood, the right day, the right version of ourselves.
But that moment never comes.

The truth is, progress doesn’t wait for the perfect time — it creates it.
Start now, and let your action shape the world around you.

What’s something you’ve been waiting to start? 👇

Still spinning in control, but it’s rough..

Here it is early in the morning and I am thinking about stress, and stress triggering my immune diseases. I went to my dentist today and I asked about what the effects of micro plastics, specifically my year plus of wearing Invisalign braces, what effect that has on my auto immune system. “There aren’t any studies, so who knows,” was her response..Meanwhile, I keep thinking about triggers for autoimmune diseases, in my hyperactive autoimmune system. I think I should see an immunologist, to at least get a better understanding of it all..Also, should I be on an immunosuppressant since I have a sixth autoimmune disease diagnosis?! I’m also asking for some sound advice, from The Mighty collective. This is really bothering me..It’s making me sad and depressed. I keep thinking about my immune system attacking my body. It’s not suppose to work that hyper-vigilantly. #AutoimmuneDiseases #HashimotosThyroiditis #LichenSclerosus #Psoriasis #PsoriaticArthritis #Diabetes #lichenplanopilris #Depression

Letting go isn’t weakness — it’s an act of courage.

It’s hard to turn the page when you know someone won’t be in the next chapter.

Whether it’s a friend, a partner, or even a version of yourself you once loved... letting go hurts.

There’s grief in acceptance. There’s pain in moving forward.

And sometimes the hardest part isn’t losing someone… it’s realizing life doesn’t pause for our hearts to catch up.

But the story must go on.

Not because you’re supposed to “get over it,” but because you still deserve to grow, to heal, to discover who you are without what you thought you’d always have.

Loss shapes you, but it doesn’t end you.

You get to keep writing.

You get to become someone even stronger, even deeper, even more alive than before.

Turn the page when you're ready.

Not because the past didn’t matter…

but because you do.

Who or what are you learning to release so you can move forward?
