That moment where you find yourself curled up in a fetal position while you’re clutching a handful of blankets, feeling as if the entire world is spinning onward while all you can do is try to breathe through the thunder in your chest …
You will rise up from that moment. I promise. This will pass. It has to right? No particular moment will ever last forever.
Keep taking one jagged breath after the other. Counting the seconds isn’t necessary right now. Just focus on taking some oxygen in and then letting it go. Be sure to let it go though. That part is important. Don’t hold onto that air. Be sure your blanket isn’t covering your mouth. I know you think it helps you stay quiet, but darling, those days are long gone! You dont ever have to stay silent! You’re allowed to cry whenever you want. And if you want to make noise then go for it. Let those tears fall down your beautiful face. You don’t have to keep swallowing those sobs.
Right this very moment it seems like your world is crumbling. I know. But you see, I also know that this too shall pass.
You’re going to be ok. This moment will end.
You will rise up.
