Facing Tomorrow

We are all flawed, imperfect, broken creatures.
You worry that your honesty about your struggles will scare someone away – that removing your mask and exposing your vulnerabilities and the things that aren’t so pretty or shiny will be too much for someone to hear, or to bear.
Hard subjects are frightening to those who refuse to be open.
Some people will be your friend for a lifetime.
Others, for a moment. 
And some will leave, and you will always wonder why.
But you can't doubt yourself.
You can't beat yourself up.
You can’t hide yourself away or struggle alone.
Community is found in vulnerability.
Writing, speaking, and sharing your story helps you heal and brings hope to those who are struggling just like you are. 
Just as the sun sets each day, it rises – and with it, comes hope.
And sometimes hope is all you need to face another tomorrow.
