i'll never stop trying to be a good person. i will keep showing up, even when i'm unsure, even when i'm tired, even when it would be easier to disappear. but i'm learning to hold myself with the same care i offer others, to remember that i, too, deserve gentleness. i want to see the world in its beauty, the ordinary moments that still feel speacial, despite everything that doesn't work out the way i hoped. that there's still something i can look forward the next morning. i know i will stumble, i know i will fail sometimes, but i don't want these passing moments to turn me cold. i want to remain soft in a world that teaches hardness, kind without losing myself, and human enough to keep trying. i choose goodness not because life is easy, but because it is still worth meeting with an open heart.
