The only way out is through

If you have been through a lot, this post is for you. Read that again. You have been through a lot. You haven’t escaped it or gotten lucky. You’ve drug yourself through the trenches to get here. The silver lining? You know how to carry yourself through something. You know how to grieve. You’ve been here before, except this time, it’s familiar - not in the “here we go again” way, but in the “I know what’s waiting for me on the other side” way. You know you can go through it again. You know you will. And you know something better is waiting for you on the other side.
