I had like ten new notifications when I opened lemmy today, which (as a commenter-only) is by far a personal record.

Turns out it was due to my very first post on lemmy, about a little victory, and every single comment was supportive and encouraging!

It made me feel less ashamed about my big struggles and small victories. Small victory, but big win.

(I didn't expect little victories back to back, but I promise I wont clutter the feed every day, haha)

That was a lovely read.

The words are so full of contentment and joy and peace that you almost don't notice the pain underneath, the past experiences, which made such simple things extraordinary. Almost missing that while reading helps illustrate emotionally as well as verbally the surprising lack of pain you felt that day.

I love that you're able to celebrate a good day without worrying about the bad days. And I think a lot of people can relate, whether they're held back by physical or emotional pain.

I've been struggling with a touch of despair lately, and forgotten to elevate the good things, but I'll carry this with me into tomorrow - and I think tomorrow will be a better day for it.
