“The fact that you're struggling
doesn't make you a burden.
It doesn't make you unlovable or
undesirable or undeserving of care.
It doesn't make you too much
or too sensitive or too needy.
It makes you human.

Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult
time coping, and there are
days when we all fall apart.
During those times, we aren't always easy
to be around, and that's okay.
No one is easy to be around one hundred
percent of the time. Yes, you may
sometimes be unpleasant or difficult.

And yes, you may sometimes de or
say things that make the people
around you feel helpless or sad.
But those things aren't all of who
you are, and they don't discount
your worth as a human being.

The truth is that you can be struggling
and still be loved. You can be difficult
and still be cared for. You can be less
than perfect and still be deserving of
compassion and kindness.”

“No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone.”
