Healing didn’t arrive like a sunrise.
It didn’t blaze across the sky and chase away all the darkness at once. It came quietly — in fragments, in moments so small I almost missed them.

The first time I laughed without guilt.
The first night I slept without tears.
The first morning I woke up and realized you weren’t the first thought in my mind.

Those moments were gentle, almost invisible, but they were everything. Because healing rarely happens in grand gestures; it grows inside the smallest choices we make to keep going.

It’s in the way you make your bed, even when you don’t feel like it.
In the way you open the curtains and let the light in.
In the way you answer a message, take a walk, or smile back at the world.
Tiny, ordinary acts that whisper — I’m still here.

The power of small moments is that they teach us how to live again.
They remind us that even after everything falls apart, life continues in details: the warmth of a cup between your hands, the sound of rain on your window, the soft laughter that escapes when you least expect it.

These moments don’t erase the pain — they coexist with it.
They are proof that light and darkness can live side by side. That even in sadness, there can be softness. That even in loss, there can be life.

When you look back, it won’t be the big milestones that show how far you’ve come.
It will be the small moments — the quiet victories no one else sees, the tiny sparks that carried you through the night.

So, don’t wait for healing to announce itself with fireworks.
Look for it in the calm, in the stillness, in the breath you take without noticing.
That’s where strength lives — quietly, beautifully, in the small moments that remind you that you’ve already begun again.

Always and Forever
