"No one sees your strength, do they? No one sees the silent battle you fight against your overprotective mind that's trying to keep you safe from harm by keeping you safe from risk, safe from connection, safe from honesty.

You are fighting for something incredible. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise-especially not your thoughts."
