“You said you’ll always struggle with this. I find that helpful! It means I don’t need to strive to ‘conquer’ this beast, and perfection just isn’t going to happen. But struggling? That’s something I can identify with! And seeing how far you’ve come, even though you’re still struggling, and seeing how far I’ve come (I’ve already done more in the last two weeks than the last two years!) helps so much. I know it sounds like a paradox, but hearing the struggle never ends actually gives me hope.”
