Some days are just like that. You come home, toss your bag in the corner, half-heartedly hang your coat on the rack (or let it gracefully slide to the floor, let\u2019s be honest), and sigh so deeply the windows could fog up. Today was one of those days. Emotional. With a capital E. But you know what? Somewhere between \u201cWhat a shitty day\u201d* and \u201cThe universe has a plan for you\u201d, I\u2019m floating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I choose to hold on to what does feel good. No matter how small. Because even on the hardest days, I get to decide how I deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One detail. One moment. And everything feels different. Today, it\u2019s pressing on my chest. Today, it\u2019s caught in my throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I thought to myself: \u201cOkay. I guess today is just one of those days. So let\u2019s feel it then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n My inner monologue sounded something like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Damn, you really wish you could share this with someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 But you know what, Jen? You also know this will pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Is something wrong? Not really, just my mood on shuffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Am I sad? Yeah, a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Am I proud of myself? More than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These days – where things rub the wrong way, where everything comes to a halt – they bring me closer to who I really am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because I don\u2019t need a relationship to feel complete. No savior. No shoulder as my only foundation. I want to lean on myself first. Solid. Confident. Not because I don\u2019t need anyone, but because I want to be able to carry myself before I let someone else in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not a half-finished puzzle waiting for a missing piece. I am already whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And you know what? That goes for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For you, woman reading this You don\u2019t need to be \u201cfixed\u201d to be worthy. Not for anyone else \u2014 and not for yourself either. On the days when everything shifts and storms, when you just don\u2019t know anymore…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pause. Breathe deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And whisper to yourself: \u201cI am stronger than this moment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you are. Truly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jennifer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some days are just like that.

<\/strong>It\u2019s often not the big things that throw me off balance.It can be the tiniest detail. A glance. A comment. A thought that lingers.Normally, I\u2019d brush it off. But not today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>If it feels like you\u2019re drowning in everything you\u2019re feeling, without anything to hold on to \u2014 know this:You are not weak. You are not \u201ctoo much\u201d.You are a complete human being.You\u2019re allowed to feel and move forward.To cry and laugh.To fall and get back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
