Somewhere between gratitude and regret
Dear God,
My dearest apologies.
I have spent so much time complaining in my prayers,
instead of being grateful for the small things
that I treated as normal.
The fact that I can dance
when I hear my favorite song…
that is not ordinary.
I have always searched for love,
forgetting that You have always loved me,
even in my flaws,
even in my silence.
Being alive —
I think I am starting to understand
that it is already a gift.
Today, as I watched the stars,
quiet and steady,
I felt something I don’t always feel…
peace.
Even when I feel like
the terrors of the night
are consuming me,
You are there —
holding a light,
guiding my way through the dark.
And that's You,
still choosing me,
even when I forget to choose You.

Somewhere in my thoughts
I am writing this for anyone who is fighting with their mind right now, and for me too.
There are moments when your head feels heavier than your body, when just existing feels like a burden.
Just know you are not alone. I am here too. I won’t pretend this is easy, because it isn’t.
I know sometimes the mind lies to us, telling us that the only way to feel better is to not exist. But that is a lie.
It’s really hard writing this, but somehow it also feels a little healing.
The fact that we are still here, still trying, means we still have something left in us to fight with.
So to anyone going through this… you can make it. Just take it slowly. One small step at a time.
