I cannot tell you what lies ahead, but I can tell you: you will grow. Your ability to keep going each day is a sign of courage on its own. I know that peace feels far away as you try to make sense of all the change, and I just hope you can remember this: You do not have to make sense of it all in order to be worthy of peace. To be the one who keeps breathing in the unknown is a brave and miraculous thing. Learning to exhale is no small feat. You are doing brave things. Yes, you are doing brave things even though it doesn’t always feel that way. - Morgan Harper Nichols
