DanniDear Superwomen,
As I noticed March coming to an end, which makes me aware that women’s month awareness closing it curtains for next year. It makes me wonder why does it have to be a month to honor women for what we’ve been through? Why can’t it just be everyday, just acknowledging our accomplishments and hardships. Of course, it can be too much…read more

JenaThere is a grieving process that comes with healing that isn’t often talked about, but I think it should be. Coming to a place where you can see yourself without judgement, even if it is for a fleeting moment, is something magical; but stepping into that space when you never thought you’d get there is an entirely different experience. Although I a…read more

DanniDearest Survivors,
I have stood in front of the mirror to gaze upon my reflection; a taunting voice has probed at my mind to tilt towards a criticizing approach about myself. My body posture deflated when my critical thinking unbuttoned the layers that had camouflaged my insecurities. I wanted to smash the mirror, I just couldn’t take how my r…read more

Hannah G.Dear World,
C.S. Lewis wrote “to love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.” When I think about the question what makes me strong it is the ability to be vulnerable yourself and others even when your heart has been broken. To choose to be seen and known, even when it is hard. As I look at my…read more

ShelleyDear Unsealed Community,
When I was in my first semester of college at C. W. Post I was very unhappy. I had never been away from home for any length of time or away from my parents. I was also a very sheltered 18 year old so I was a bit unprepared for the typical college bad behavior that goes on. Adding to this, I did not get along…read more -

Hi Drew, and Lauren!
Drew, your story about your “hat in the ring” is truly inspiration! Thank you for always being in my corner! I was inspired by your risk and I am taking my own!

Growing up, I didn’t always appreciate you as I do now. I didn’t fully understand you as a child because our dreams were so different. At ten years old, I was outspoken and already very career driven. You always liked working and wanted to do well, but you never had a burning desire for a promotion or more responsibilities.

Naomi, I think at some point in our lives we all look for validation from other people. But the only validation we really ever need is from ourselves. Keep being you! Follow your dreams, write and travel. Keep falling in love with you because YOU are amazing ! <3 Lauren
-
Naomi, You go for living out your dreams and never listen to anyone else. Yes, you’ve lived your life in fear for a few years but from that fear, you’ve learned to grow and chase your dream by not caring about what others say. One thing is that they may say things but with your motivation, they can’t stop you.

It’s funny when I write to someone who happens to be myself in the distant future. I try to look forward to the future, instead of time-traveling to the past, which I happen to do a lot since the past is a part of the key ingredients that makes up myself. However, as you know, I have made my list that you already know I…read more

Danni! Every letter you write is just so amazing! I’m glad that you were able to accomplish so many things and not let (GAD) get in the way of that! That can be a barrier for a lot of people but not for you because you have such a strong and passionate mindset to fight and not let anything or anyone get in your way. Keep living the life you want.

Hi Kayjah,
I’ve noticed a lot your wonderful comments on my past posts. Already, just thank you for that, I appreciate it much. Yes, my GAD is a part of me, but I’ve learned that it’s not me and not my identity. Just a part of me, but dosen’t revolve around me. Once I got out of that mindset, it has helped me tremendously! Thank you, yep, I’m let…read more

It’s always good to give ourselves grace because sometimes we tend to be a little too hard on ourselves we have to understand that sometimes we don’t have the ability to do everything we want to do our way.

Sarah giving ourselves grace is important, especially living in a society where there aren’t many people that will give you grace. Accepting grace for yourself is important, but also accepting grace for others is even more important. We need to remind ourselves that grace is there for us.
