Healing comes when you find the courage to keep moving forward, even when it’s hard. Confidence isn’t always loud; sometimes, it’s just a quiet step, one foot in front of the other. Life pulls us through rough patches, but it’s the belief that we can rise again that makes the difference. Keep going—that’s where the real healing begins.
