Being in survival mode day to day for whatever reasons is an exhausting state and it pretty much ensures the systematic destruction of your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
For many this is an inevitable state due to uncontrollable circumstances and it makes for a painfully brutal life.
People who don't spend much time in this mode don't understand what it takes to constantly LIVE in it ... they are ignorant of the toll it takes and the strength it requires.

As someone who has been in this mode constantly since childhood ... I'm aware that there is no amount of support that can bring back all that gets lost in the day to day maintenance of existing in a constant state of fear, pain, anger, or decline ... whatever the circumstances, it's rough life and while help is available to an extent, the losses mentally, physically, and spiritually are greater than any gains.
To those struggling and STILL pushing forward with positivity ... I see you ❤️

Everyone struggles differently but how we tackle those struggles and move through them says a lot about who we are.
I wanted to take a moment to thank those out there who are bringing their best selves and their brightest light to the world even while struggling through so much.
I wanted to take a moment to send out some of my own energy, positivity, and breath of life to those who need it and encourage you to keep looking forward and keep rising even when you fall.
You. Are. Epic ❤️
