So, if you need to take up a new hobbie, push yourself to be brave enough to make new friends or just do that thing you’ve been afraid to do, do it because you deserve it. You deserve to be happy, to nurture that person from the past that has struggled and life is here for you to enjoy its little moments.

Keywords: Addiction, Depression, Grief, Healing, Spirituality

I saw your resignation—your “I don’t need anything or anyone” energy evaporate, and I saw all those folks who are in your intimate orbit stunned by the miracle of you, and overjoyed at having the chance to get to know the you they never met.
