“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be KIND. Always”
.
I still remember sitting across from my nutrition therapist with complete and utter jealously. It had nothing to do with her looks, her job, or anything you may think of typically.
.
“I bet she eats cake on her Birthday”.
.
…Was all I could think on repeat. For a long time, food was my enemy.
.
Holidays weren’t enjoyed because I spent the days surrounded by food and fear.
.
Beach trips were few and far between because the anxiety of wearing a bathing just wasn’t worth it.
.
And friends were practically nonexistent because it was a whole lot easier to hide my “issues” that way.
.
NOW I eat cake on my birthday, my favorite place is the beach, and I have some of the BEST friends I could ask for.
.
As I got ready for a pool day with one of my favorites today I was reminded of just how many little things we take for granted.
.
So just a reminder to always be KIND. Often times, the things we take for granted someone else is praying for. 💛✨
