We all have our struggles—whether it's mental health, bad days, or feeling like we're not enough. But here's the truth: those things don’t define you. You're not broken. You're human. Embrace your imperfections, your flaws, and every little bit of you. The moment you stop acting like something’s wrong with you is when you truly start to love yourself.

Darkness isn’t a puzzle to solve—it’s a place to move through. We often get stuck trying to understand why we feel the way we do, but sometimes, it’s about accepting the heaviness and trusting that it’s making us stronger. Like wearing a 40-pound weight vest for 30 days—it’s tough, but the strength you gain is worth it. Embrace the darkness, because on the other side, you'll find a version of yourself that’s more resilient than before

Recovery is about more than just giving up substances; it’s about changing the beliefs that got us there in the first place. As Incubus puts it, "Whatever you thought would manifest," and that’s exactly what happens when we start to believe in something better. By shifting from thoughts of I’ll never change to I am capable of creating the life I want, we begin to see real transformation. Every belief you change, every positive choice you make, adds another stroke to the masterpiece you’re creating—a life you love, not one you hate. You’re the artist of your own recovery.
