Carve out a life on your own terms. Say Thank you and I love you and I’m sorry. “Heave your heart into your mouth.”11 Try new things. Reinvent. Try again. Show up. Celebrate the small successes. Make sure your identity isn’t based on something you might lose. You are not the size of your waist or your health or your job or someone else’s opinion of you. You are not the worst thing that has ever happened to you, and you are not the best, either.
