Dear Diary,
Today was one of those days where everything felt heavier than usual. The weight of the past seems to be closing in on me, and it's hard not to feel overwhelmed. I spent most of the day trying to push through, to keep up the brave face that everyone expects from me. Sometimes, it feels like I'm just going through the motions, holding it all together for the sake of everyone else.
I found myself staring at old photos today—memories of moments that seem so distant now. It's strange how much has changed. There was a time when everything felt simpler, even when it was just as complicated. I miss those moments, even the ones filled with chaos and uncertainty. At least back then, I knew where I stood.
Henry's been such a light in all of this. His endless optimism is a reminder of why I keep fighting. I see so much of myself in him, and it's a bittersweet reminder of how far I've come and how much further I still have to go.
Killian has been a constant source of support, too. He sees me—sees me—in a way that no one else does. I don't know how to put into words just how much that means to me. He's shown me that it's okay to be vulnerable, that it's okay to lean on someone else for once. It's a new feeling, one that I'm still trying to understand, but it's comforting in its way.
Tonight, I'm trying to hold on to the small victories, the moments of peace. It's easy to get lost in the chaos, but I'm reminding myself that there's still good in the world and that sometimes, it's found in the people we love and the moments we share with them.
I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring, but I'm learning to embrace the uncertainty. For now, I'm taking things one step at a time, one day at a time. And I'm holding onto hope—hope that things will get better, that I'll find the strength to keep going.
