Today I am fighting to keep my head above the water, above the waves of emotions that come and go—the some good days that are followed by crushing overwhelm and loneliness. Some days, breathing feels harder, and music and the Word are a lifeline and naps an escape from the suffocation. I look back on this moment that I wanted to remember—the hopes and dreams I held, the longing I felt—and I still want to believe that dreams come true, that this longing will be fulfilled and that I will get better.
