Your mind and body are like two waves in one ocean, where every storm above strikes them together and its echo humming long after beneath the surface. Though on the surface they may appear separate, mental and physical health operate in unity. Yet, for years we have been taught to treat them as individually operating systems.

Why deprive yourself of feeling fully, of existing honestly, just to satisfy the glimmering expectations in the eyes of others? You deserve to breathe. To let go when necessary. To release when the weight becomes too much. And to smile not out of obligation, but because something within you has quietly blossomed.
