Days don’t ask who you are.
They just come—
with bills,
emails,
and cold coffee on the table.
You wake up tired,
not from sleep,
but from carrying everything
life asks of you.
There’s no fanfare in the morning.
Just the work you have to do,
the chores that never end,
and the small wins that hardly feel like wins.
You smile because you have to,
even when it’s hard.
Challenges don’t knock—they just settle in,
testing your patience and strength.
You see other people succeeding,
and sometimes it feels like you’ll never get there.
The mirror doesn’t flatter you.
The world feels heavy,
but still—you stand.
You show up.
You try.
You fail sometimes.
You stumble, you cry,
but you get up again.
Because real success isn’t instant.
It’s not perfection.
It’s showing up, again and again,
even when it’s hard.
Step by step, day by day,
you’re building your story,
slowly,
and that’s enough.
