It fuels our motivation, our emotional regulation, our ability to plan and strategize and find a way through.

It strengthens our emotional habits that make healing possible.

You know, there have been many times in my life where there's an opportunity for me to not just be hopeless, but to stay there.

So my hope is that wherever you're listening from right now, that wherever you're on your journey, that you keep going and you keep growing and you keep building the emotional habits that help you to heal.

Maybe that means...

picking up the phone and calling someone and being honest with them.

Maybe it means forgiving yourself.

Maybe it means taking a chance and being courageous on something that you wanted to do for a long time.

But allowing yourself those maybe moments, maybe it is possible, maybe I can accept real love because at the end of the day, no matter the outcome,

I truly believe that we will like who we're becoming when we're courageous and brave and when we have hope.

And when we have hope, we can really see what humanity would look like if it heals and what's possible.

And that's a journey I feel like would be much more fun to be on.

Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.
