You don’t realize how strong you are until you pause and look back at all the moments you thought you were barely surviving. The days you showed up with a heavy heart, answered “I’m fine” out of habit, and kept moving even when everything felt overwhelming. No one saw the quiet battles in your head or the weight you carried behind your smile, yet you still did what needed to be done. You kept going—not because it was easy, but because something inside you refused to give up.
That strength doesn’t always look loud or heroic. Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed, finishing what you started, or choosing to keep hope alive when no one is cheering you on. And even if no one noticed your struggle at the time, it still mattered. It still counts. You survived moments that once felt impossible, and that alone is proof that you are stronger than you ever gave yourself credit for.
