Hey sister,
I wanted to share something with you. It’s something that’s been on my mind for a while. I’ve been told before that I tend to share a lot of personal information.
Here’s the thing, I truly believe in being real and authentic. It’s what helps people know they can trust you, and that they’re not alone in this journey, especially when it feels like everyone else’s life is picture-perfect on social media. Life, as we both know, can be really tough sometimes.
This afternoon and into the evening have been a bit of a struggle for me. I’ve been grappling with some old feelings, and it’s been a slow process trying to shake them off. I had a friend invite me for a glass of wine, but I chose to be honest instead of making up an excuse. I let her know what I was going through. The support she offered and just knowing that she cared about my pain made a world of difference.
We don’t have to bear the weight of hard times alone. It’s okay to be honest, both with us and with others. Life never guaranteed us perfection or a lack of challenges.
So tonight, I’m giving myself the time and space to heal by letting myself feel, taking a long bath, drinking my water, and ending the day with some much-needed comfort from my hubby. These are some of my favorite things that bring me peace.
I want you to know, dear friend, that I’m here for you, no matter what mix of emotions you’re carrying – be it sadness, loss, anger, or joy.
Sending you lots of love and understanding,
XOXO | Mindy
