In Your Hardest Moments, Recall Your Power

I read something once that’s always stayed with me: “Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” It’s simple, powerful, and has come back to me lately as I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting.

I’ve been off social media for a little while. Not because of one dramatic moment, but because life in its quiet, complicated way, asked me to slow down. Some of what I’ve been carrying isn’t mine to speak about, and some of it is just… life doing what life does. Tender, unexpected, and at times heavy. So I stepped back. Not to disappear, but to breathe. To find stillness in the noise. To come home to myself, quietly, gently and remember who I am.

I’m not going to pretend like it’s been easy. Survival, real, raw, emotional survival isn’t glamorous. There are days where getting out of bed feels like a victory. Where silence is deafening, and your own thoughts aren’t always kind. But here’s the thing, I’ve learned that when you think you can’t take anymore, that’s not the end. It’s the beginning of remembering your strength. It’s the moment you straighten that invisible crown, take a breath, and rise not because you feel ready, but because staying down is no longer an option.

Life is wild. It’s fragile and unpredictable and sometimes impossibly beautiful. Your entire world can shift overnight - for better or worse! That’s why I wanted to come on here, just for a moment, and say: Make the most of each day. Say what needs to be said. Love out loud. Be kind, especially to yourself. No one knows what tomorrow holds. But we’re still here. Still breathing. Still capable of healing, laughing, growing.

So to whoever needs to hear it, keep going. You’ve survived every hard day so far. And that crown? Still fits.

I’ll be back when I’m ready. But for now, just know, you are stronger than you think and more loved than you realise.
