things that seem small can be really brave:
getting up in the morning
asking for help
stopping when you know you’ve pushed yourself too hard
admitting when you were in the wrong
forgiving yourself
making an effort even when you don’t have the motivation
reaching out to others when you feel alone
+ much more
