They say walking is therapeutic; it keeps your body going and your thoughts running, and allows you to appreciate what surrounds you as you take your steps.
And perhaps it is trueโeven when you donโt reach the 10-kilometer goal you aimed for, you are always walking endless miles in ways that only you understand.
Life keeps us walkingโthere are moments when we walk ourselves into serene reflections, when we take a leap toward great opportunities, and when we walk back to glimpses of nostalgia we once stepped into.
But it gets tiring; it feels suffocating to walk in circles you canโt seem to escape, drowning in chaos until itโs not just sweat that falls, but also tears endlessly streaming down.
And maybe thatโs why healing is the most human thing to doโas you walk, you stop at the side to talk with someone who is also on the same path.
Itโs in these moments you realize you are seen, and that youโre not alone, because we are all walkers in this world just trying to make it through the day.
As we take a pause this World Su***de Prevention Day, we hope you are reminded that ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ.
You are seen. You are felt. You are loved.
On the other side of the path lies a lot of tomorrows, because tomorrow still needs you.
May you never get tired of walking with and for someone; every step you take is encouragement given and a voice heard.
But above all, may you continue to desire walking every rocky road, because sometimes the only way out is to walk through.
