It’s not inspirational words that keep me going, it’s the spirit and heart shining through the words.

There is no match to sitting with a trusted friend and processing as you speak, and having that person share a different perspective of hope and possibility.

Words, inspirational statements, inspirational conversations — they all come from people who are in a different head space to the one I’m struggling with, and their words form a ribbon of hope and light that I can pull on to get myself out of any mental darkness I step into.
