Lean on Me

++*++*++

" Lean on Me"

You are the bravest person I know.

You have gone through such adversity and sadness,

And yet you still take the coat off your back to give to someone who needs it.

You keep trying to help people, even when they are clearly not who you thought they were, you still trudge on.

You see the good in everyone, even when they show their true colors, you dig deep to find the good.

You give until it hurts, and then you give a little bit more.

And now a journey of self- discovery... it's a scary place, ripping off bandaids and confronting giants,and yet there you are, doing it.

I know you. I understand you. I admire you.

Don't stop. Keep going. Someday your story is going to save someone else, and they'll step into your footprints to begin their own journey.

    This is like a quiet but powerful hug in words. "Someday your story is going to save someone else"—what a powerful truth. This feels like a letter everyone needs at some point in their life. 😊💖
