Throughout my years of experience there have been some pretty hard days that I have had to get through. These are the days that I can go back and forth from thinking about many things from good to bad. Ultimately, I needed to find something good in those days. It helped me move on with my life and close it on a good note.

It can seem at times when life seems unfair because things happen that are out of our control. There have been times when I am at home throughout the day and there is nothing significant that happens. Life has changed for me drastically over the past few months. My father is homebound, and my mother has had to assume the role as caregiver. Over the past few months, she has found opportunities to help me. She helped me find things to do when she was capable.

I had to confront the reality. I needed to do some of the work to take care of my needs. It wasn’t easy at first. I succeeded by connecting myself to friends. I managed to check in with them each day to keep my mental health in check. It helped me greatly. Eventually, I know I need to expand myself more. I must also be patient with myself. I should give myself grace in the process. It can be hard when I have to find things to do to get through those tough days. Still, I also know that caring for myself is equally as important. Staying up and awake during those hard days is essential. This ensures that my mental health is in check throughout the day.

It can be easy to beat yourself up in the hard days. But it takes knowing who you are and how much you have overcome to get to where you are today. What you are experiencing on the inside is not totally who you are on the outside during those hard days. There are going to be moments that you will want to feel bad about yourself. Still, it is equally important to not let the hard days win.

Make the best of what you have to offer yourself when it comes to seeing the day ahead of you. Do things that make you happy and bring joy to you. Most of all adhere to what you need to adhere to, no matter what. It seems silly in its own way. Still, it can be what makes or breaks you in the process of getting through the day. Remember to reach out to those that you know will support you if you need it.

Most of all know that you matter, you are loved, and you are enough.
