"Having a bubbly, outgoing personality while battling mental health struggles is one of the hardest contradictions to live with. You become a master at smiling through pain, laughing through anxiety, and showing up for others while quietly falling apart inside. People see your energy and think you're fine - they have no idea how heavy it feels when the laughter fades and the silence hits. It's like living two lives: one where you seem okay, and one where you're constantly fighting the invisible storms in your mind. And maybe that's what makes it so confusing - because even you don't always understand how you can be both joyful and broken at the same time. You've learned to find light in dark places, to pour love into others even when you're running on empty. It's exhausting, but it's also strength. Because no matter how heavy it gets, you keep showing up - for your family, your daughter, and for yourself - and that's something to be proud of."
