Affirmation to Stress and Anxiety I will survive.

I will survive.


Somewhere in the worst month you have had, the bed still got stripped and remade. Not on a schedule, and not because you felt like a person who changes sheets. It happened anyway, on some unremarkable afternoon, and nobody was told.
