Why You’re Still Here (Even When You Don’t Want to Be)

Some days you don’t want to be here.

You’re not suicidal. But you’re exhausted.

Not tired from activity—tired from existing.

You whisper to yourself, “What’s the point?”

But somehow, your heart keeps beating.

Somehow, you’re still breathing.

That’s not weakness. That’s obedience.

Every breath you take when you’d rather disappear is a spiritual victory.

It’s quiet. Uncelebrated. But it’s real.

You didn’t fold.

You didn’t vanish.

You stayed.

That’s enough.

And tomorrow?

We fight again.
