“The thing is…
is that you’re still alive,
your heart is still beating,
your eyes are still blinking,
your brain is still thinking,
you thought you couldn’t survive yesterday,
but you made it to today.
So keep going.”- S.B

You can definitely make it through today if you survived yesterday. One step at a time, one moment at a time. Keep going 💙
