🧡 On This Thanksgiving Day

Today I don’t want to focus only on what is celebrated, but on what is felt.
Because for many people, this date brings a mix of emotions:
joy, nostalgia, exhaustion, emptiness, gratitude… or sometimes a little of everything at once.
And that’s okay. There is no “right” way to experience this day.

I want to tell you something from the heart:
✨ I’m grateful for your strength, even when you don’t see it.
✨ I’m grateful for your sensitivity, because it shows your beautiful ability to feel and to love.
✨ I’m grateful that you’re still here, walking your path with bravery.

If today the noise of celebration overwhelms you, take a deep breath.
If your heart feels heavy, hold yourself with gentleness.
If gratitude feels hard right now, don’t judge yourself.
Sometimes the most sacred act is simply making it through the day, one step at a time.
Today, more than celebrating, I want to thank you for existing, for persisting, and for allowing yourself to feel.

🧡 Happy Thanksgiving, at your own pace, in your own way, from your truth.
If you need a safe space, I’m here for you.

Healing Doesn’t Always Look Like Progress (And That’s Okay)

There were days in my healing journey when I felt like I was getting worse, not better.
I would wake up with heaviness in my chest and think, “After all this work… why do I still feel like this?”
The truth is, healing is not linear. And it’s not always pretty. Sometimes, the hardest days aren’t signs of failure—they’re signs that something deep inside is finally surfacing to be felt, heard, and released.
I had to learn that “not feeling okay” wasn’t a step backwards, but part of the process itself. That some days, just getting out of bed was brave. That holding space for my pain without running from it was a quiet act of strength.
There were also moments I didn’t talk about much—like when I felt ashamed for needing help, or when I secretly wished I could fast-forward to the “healed” version of myself. But looking back, I realize now: it was never about reaching perfection. It was always about learning to befriend myself, right where I was.
So if today feels heavy for you, I want you to know: you’re still healing. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. Even if you cried today. Even if you didn’t “do much.”
You’re not behind. You’re human. And that’s more than enough. #ansiety #Depression #TheMighty

I’m starting to think that something’s wrong with the mighty app

I wonder if my last post is even reaching to others, and I don’t know if it’s a bug. If not, here was my last post I’m scared | TW world issues (particularly in America), swearing

For many reasons I am feeling a little blue yet good these days. Remembering many good memories and people that have passed. #TheMighty #ChronicFatigue
