From Me, To You (1)

by

Justina Torres

To You,

 

You’re only human. You don’t need to have it together every minute of every day.

You only have two arms to hold two things at once. It’s okay if you cannot hold more than that, and it’s okay to put things down too. You don’t have to hold everything for everyone all the time. You have feelings. You get bruised. But that’s part of being human. Beating yourself up isn’t going to make it any better. You’re not a superhero. You cannot do everything on your own. And when the world gets too overwhelming, you must ask for help because you can. You can because you are human.

 

From Me
