“Eventually soulmates meet, for they have the same hiding place.”

you are so much more than that failed test. that interview gone wrong, your relapse, the missed opportunities, the words you wish you could take back. you are not your mistakes. you're a person who's trying. there are so many opportunities to make things right. you'll get there, even if it takes a few more tries.
“Come with all your shame, come with your swollen heart, I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than you.”
— Warsan Shire
