hey can people comment some happy things for me to read, today has been really hard and all I’ve been doing is crying

idk if it helps but.... dogs exist and they're rly cute and amazing. so yea.. remember doggos

Infinitesoul I'm sending you hugs and kisses. I've cried all day too. I felt defeated today. At this very moment I am sort of "calmed", but not happy or satisfied. I am trying to practice acceptance and handling uncertainty. Noticing there is nothing I can do to prevent certain fears from coming true, and accepting that. Still, I also now that not because something bad could happen, it means it will. Infinitesoul we'll get through this

I was babysitting last night for a family that I sit for often. The kid (5) and I were doing our usual nightly routine (dance party, brush teeth, read a book, snuggle in bed, say goodnight 800 times) and as we were doing that he ran over to me out of no where and gave me a hug. He isn’t usually very affectionate so it warmed my heart so much. And then once I said the 801st goodnight and turned the lights off, he said “Leah, I love you”. I rarely even hear him say to his parents. I said “I love you too buddy” and then went to the living room and cried a little because he decided to share his sweet sweet innocent little heart with me. I’m so sorry today hasn’t been good for you, friend. Deep breathes (in through your nose, our through your mouth). Today does not define tomorrow. Or the rest of your life. I wish I could give you a hug of strength, but here’s a virtual one- *hugs*. I PROMISE you will have days where everything is just a little bit easier. And then they will get better from there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You will get through this sometimes we have to go through hard things to appreciate life more hope tomorrow brings you more happiness❣️
