When All You Can Do Is Show Up…

I have never read this quote before, but it resonates with my soul. As a woman who deals with anxiety, depression, and PTSD from trauma, I often feel like the world around me is too dark. The energy it takes just to get out of bed can be exhausting. Not to mention, teaching is mentally taxing and oftentimes unappreciated.

This quote reminds me of why I write. I write to heal from my past. I write because it’s the only thing I can do to quiet the chaos cluttering my mind. I write because it empowers me. I write, and in doing so, I am reminded that I am enough… even when all I can do is show up.
