Poems To Peace ma. fatima santos

This might be one of the hardest readings I've made, because this bit came from my journal.

A year ago, back when i was recovering from my relapse and depression, I used to write journals almost everyday to let it all out. So much has happened last year that it left me fragile and vulnerable. And when all my lifelines were asleep at night, the only friend I had was a pen and a notebook.

This journal entry was the most heartbreaking. It made me realized that even I was broken, I still managed to conquer it all. I can't say that I'm fully recovered, but I am now in a better place.

Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of courage.

If you're reading and listening to this, I hope this helps you with whatever you're going through. I wish you well. You can make it. You'll get through it. Thrive.
