Holding On For One More Day

Good Morning!

It’s a Friday, not normally a day I post, but here we are, together. Coffee, sunrise, and the day ahead! Even more so, the weekend ahead! Maybe you have some exciting events or maybe you’ll find yourself in a creative cocoon, wherever this weekend takes you, I hope it is nothing short of magic!

Now onto a few fleeting thoughts…

One More Day

Sometimes, it feels like you’ve been holding on for one more day for far too long. Maybe it’s been weeks, months, or even half a year of just trying to make it through. You tell yourself, “Just one more day,” but it’s starting to feel like a promise you’re not sure you can keep.

I want to remind you of something important: you are so much stronger than you know. Holding on when every part of you is tired is strength. Choosing to get up, even when it feels pointless, is courage. Taking a breath and giving yourself one more chance is resilience. You are made of this strength, courage, and resilience, and it’s carrying you through even when you feel like you’re barely making it.

I know it’s exhausting. I know it’s frustrating to feel stuck in survival mode, wondering when things will finally break in your favor. But what if this period of holding on is quietly building something beautiful within you? What if it’s creating a strength that will carry you through challenges you can’t even imagine yet? What if every time you hold on for just one more day, you’re adding another layer to the person you’re becoming—someone resilient, brave, and unbreakable?

There will come a day when you don’t have to hold on like this. You’ll step into a moment that feels like it was made for you—a perfect day at the perfect time. You’ll look back on this season and see the light you carried through the darkness, the strength that kept you standing, and the courage that didn’t let you give up. And it will be worth it.

Until that day comes, it’s okay to take it moment by moment. It’s okay to feel tired, frustrated, or even defeated sometimes. Let yourself feel it, but don’t lose sight of how far you’ve come. You’ve made it this far because you are stronger than the weight you’re carrying. You’re still here, still fighting, still choosing to believe in just one more day.

So, hold on. Not because it’s easy, but because you have survived every day before this one, and you’ll survive tomorrow too. One day, you’ll be able to let go of the struggle. You’ll carry with you so much light, strength, and courage that the wait will seem small in comparison. You are worth every effort, every breath, and every “one more day.”

And until that day, I’m rooting for you. You’ve got this. 💪🌟

Doing It for You

When was the last time you did something new just because it made your soul feel good? Not because it would look great on your feed, or because people would praise it, but simply because you wanted to.

These days, it feels like everything we try has to come out polished, beautiful, and worthy of a double-tap. We’re so used to thinking, “What if it comes out ugly? What if “they” don’t like it?” But here’s the thing—trying something new was never supposed to be about them.

Think back about 30 years ago, before everything had to be instantly shareable. People did new things because they were curious, because they wanted to learn, or because they needed it for their soul. Maybe it was a new recipe just to see if it tasted good, or a craft project just to feel the texture of the materials in their hands. Back then, it wasn’t about getting it right. It was about seeing what would happen.

Have we forgotten how to do something just for the joy of it? Or because it’s messy and beautiful and ours alone? Social media has made it easy to turn every hobby, every creative spark, into something we measure by other people’s reactions. But what if we could just... let go of that? What if we could try new things without worrying about whether they’re “good enough” to show the world?

Not long ago (you know, a mere 20-25 years or so), I experimented with taking pictures of single water drops hitting a bowl of water. I played around with different backgrounds and angles, just to see what I could create. It wasn’t for anyone else. It wasn’t to impress or to post. It was just fun—pure, simple, joyful experimentation. I should do more of that. Not for you, not for the likes, but for me. Because it made me happy.

Trying something new doesn’t have to be profound or perfect. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. Do it because it makes your heart lighter or your mind clearer. Do it because you need a break from always being on display. Do it because you’re curious.

Let yourself explore, make mistakes, and create something weird or imperfect. Do it just because it feels right. Do it for you. 💧✨

You Deserve the Best

At the end of the day, I just want the best for you. I want to see you shine. I want to see you believe in yourself, grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be, and let go of the fear of being seen. I want to see you try new things just because they make you feel alive. Sing louder because the song deserves it. Shine brighter because the world needs your light.

I want you to dance—not just as if no one is watching, but as if everyone is watching and you just don’t care. I want you to live like you’re unafraid of how you look while living your best life. That’s the kind of boldness your spirit deserves.

But if you’re not there yet—if you’re still holding on, feeling like one more day is one too many—I want you to know that you’re not alone. I’m here, rooting for you, believing in you, and reminding you that you are worth fighting for. You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Just take it one more day, one more step at a time.

You deserve nothing but the best—happiness, peace, and the freedom to be yourself without apology. I believe in you, even on the days when you don’t believe in yourself. Hold on. You’ve made it this far, and you’re stronger than you think.

I’m here. I’m with you. And I believe in your ability to make it through. You are worth every single moment of this journey. 💫
