2020 me had no idea what was coming. 2025 me is grieving, healing, and learning how to live again. My kid got sick. My mom got sick. I lost my mom. I lost my brother. And depression hit me in waves. And yes… I closed my physical shop too. Not because I “gave up”—but because I needed to protect my mental space and choose me. Why am I telling you this? Not for pity. I’m sharing it because somebody needs to know they’re not weak for struggling… and not alone in rebuilding. So if I’m quieter… softer… more protected… it’s because I’ve survived a lot. 🤍 #GriefSupport #DepressionAwareness #HealingJourney #Survivor #StillHere
