Functioning at 30%

To those of you who are functioning at 30% right now, we see you.

We know how hard it is to get through another day.

This is a pain so big and so all-consuming that it feels like it’s overshadowing everything else.

You don’t know how to walk through this kind of fire, day in and day out. You don’t know how to smile when all you want to do is cry.

Everything is colored by this, and it’s hard to remember a time when you were happy and carefree.

We are not going to tell you that it’s going to get better. We are not going to tell you that you shouldn’t feel the way you do.

But know this - You are seen. You are loved. And you are safe here.
