Healing and recovery are ultimately your own work. Other people can support you, but no one else can do the rebuilding for you. This isn't a harsh truth — it's an empowering one. The ability to put yourself back together already lives inside you.
Quote by Nikita Gill: “You are the fixer. You are the builder. You are the one who puts yourself back together.”
You are the fixer. You are the builder. You are the one who puts yourself back together.
