Today is the day I stop comparing myself to others.

Today is the day I stop questioning my worth as a person, a student, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a missionary.

Today is the day I accept and embrace the fact that I struggle with depression, and that it is recurring. Today is the day I recognize that it comes in waves, and that is okay.

Today is the day I stop letting my grades define me.

Today is the day I stop putting ridiculous amounts of pressure on myself to be above average.

Today is the day I stop letting people walk all over me.

Today is the day I cut out the toxic people in my life.

Today is the day I stop letting others tell me what to do or who to be.

~~~

Today is the day I start living.

Today is the day that I start being proud of who I am.

Today is the day I start finding happiness in every day.

Today is the day I stop giving up.

Today is a brand new start.

Today.
Today.
Today.
