There were days I couldn’t get out of bed.
When brushing my hair felt like climbing Everest.
When my chest felt too heavy to breathe.
But I still answered the messages.
Still made the tea.
Still smiled at someone — even when I didn’t feel it.
That’s brave too. 💪
We imagine courage as bold steps, loud fights, big choices.
But often, it’s just tiny steps in quiet rooms.
It’s tears wiped quickly.
It’s saying “I need help.”
It’s staying — or leaving.
It’s doing the next small thing. 🧩
I don’t always feel strong.
But looking back, I realize — I was.
Every time I didn’t give up… I was already winning. 🕊️
So if you’re reading this and feeling small —
Know that surviving is strength.
Trying again is power.
And soft people can be warriors too. ⚔️💞
You’re braver than you feel.
I promise.
