Day 136: Little by Little
Share
Little by little, we move forward. Today feels quiet, and perhaps that’s not a bad thing. In the stillness, maybe there’s progress—a chance to reflect, to breathe, and to prepare for what’s ahead.
I did manage to sleep last night, and I’m still adjusting to the changes I’ve made in hopes they’ll benefit me in the long run. Healing isn’t linear, and it takes time. I remind myself that the adjustments, no matter how uncomfortable now, are part of moving forward.
It’s hard not to think back to where I was last year—confined, isolated, searching for a way out of the darkness. It’s been a journey, and though these past few days have been mentally draining, I know they’re just steps along the way. The road may be foggy, but little by little, it clears.
There’s so much I want to do, so much left I have to give. That thought keeps me going. The presence of Hope nearly two years ago changed the trajectory of my life, even if my mind is still working to process it all. She was a reminder of light in the darkness, and today, I hold onto that light.
I might not have much to offer today, but even stepping away from the circular loop—breaking free in even the smallest way—is a victory. And isn’t that what matters? Little by little, things will get better.
To anyone reading this, remember: even in the quiet, even when the steps feel small, you’re moving forward. One step at a time. One breath at a time. We’ll get there together. 💙
