How far you've come

Instead of focusing on how much more you have left to do,

I think you need to take a deep breath and recognize just

how far you've come. There are parts of you that don't ache

the same way they used to. There are people you no longer

miss. Situations that no longer bring you to your knees. 

There are things you do now, easily, that used to feel 

impossible. Yes, it's important to keep moving forward but

it's equally important to see the distance you've traveled,

the versions of yourself you thought you'd never outgrow

that are but distant memories now. It's incredible, just how

much you have healed, traversed, let go, and accomplished.

Progress is amazing, but time a moment to acknowledge 

just how much ground you've already covered.
