“So today, I am so thankful to be alive.
Thankful for the sun-kissed life and the hands that guide me through it
Thankful for another chance to be here
To love those who love me when I want
To love, those who claim to love themselves but don’t.
Today, I am more than the mess that depression makes of me
More than anxiety’s chew toy.
I am not a broken person today.
I refuse to be shackled by the things I can't change
But I’m determined to fix things the things that I can.
To be both the embodiment of strength and the reminder that vulnerability is just another opportunity to prove that you stay standing, when everything else crumbles.” — via @picture_perfect_poetry253, inspired by his custom design ‘Everyday is a blessing.’
