You're allowed.

Sometimes, I forget to breathe.
I forget to take a moment to process my thoughts.
I forget that I need to take one thing at a time.
I forget that life is a process and not an event.

With everything going on this last week before Christmas, I know there are people who need to read this. In the hustle and bustle of getting just the right present... or finding spare money for presents... or having to face difficult family members... or having to come to terms with not seeing family members this year.

We're allowed to cry.
We're allowed to scream.
But we're not allowed to give up.

You'll make it through.
And so will I.
We will be okay.

Just remember to breathe.
