“As we move through the quieter, less visible parts of our healing journeys, it’s easy to feel like we’re falling behind. Maybe you're working toward inner peace, rebuilding your trust, or simply trying to get through the day, and progress feels slow or invisible. In a world that glorifies quick results and constant achievement, patience can feel like a radical act.

But mental health growth isn’t linear. It doesn’t follow a clear timeline or look the same for everyone. Some days will feel like breakthroughs; others might feel like you're starting over. Neither means you're failing.

So if you’re in the messy middle right now, you’re not alone and not off track. Keep showing up, that in itself is healing.”
