Perimenopause, Pain & Pushing Through.
Some seasons are just… heavy. Physically. Emotionally. Hormones raging. Sleep missing. Pain lingering. And it feels like a lot—because it is a lot. This photo doesn’t show strength in the “crushing it” sense. It shows strength in the “I got up anyway” sense. In the “I kept showing up” sense.
