Sharing my experiences and hearing from others has been incredibly comforting. I’m holding onto the belief that things will get better, and I refuse to let my struggles define me. If anyone else out there is navigating similar challenges, just know that you’re not alone. Together, we can find the strength to keep moving forward.
