I won’t go into what stemmed my depression but here is what I learned 🙏🏾 This isn’t at all for pitty it’s pure transparency ❤️ Last year was HARD 🥺 this was hard to share it to everything out of me to share this, but I felt it’s important. I hope it helps someone 🙏🏾 1️⃣ Showing up matters. Even on my hardest days, I kept going. I worked out, I created, I showed up for my family. It didn’t always feel like progress, but looking back, it was. 2️⃣ Healing isn’t about pretending. I thought if I just kept pushing, I’d feel better. But real healing started when I got honest with myself, with God, and with the people who truly love me. 3️⃣ Getting closer to God changed everything. The more I leaned into faith, the lighter the weight felt. Prayer, scripture, and just talking to God in my hardest moments gave me strength I didn’t know I had. 4️⃣ You never know who needs your light. Even when I felt empty, my words, my energy, and my presence still impacted others. That reminded me. I have a purpose, even on my darkest days. Your encouragement also helped to push me through. 5️⃣ The storm doesn’t last forever. If you’re in it right now, I promise, it won’t always feel this way. Keep showing up, keep leaning into God, and keep believing that joy is coming. Because it is. ❤️ #godschild #transparency #lied
