It seems like everyone wants to portray that they are 100% OK. But, we all struggle. Connect together through those times.
2. Transitions are uncomfortable.
This season of life is full of constant change. Yes, it might be uncomfortable, but if you stay intentional and calm through those time, those transitions will become the most important seasons of your life.
3. Your worth is not based on followers.
Especially within our culture, social media controls and dictates. Remeber, your worth does not equate to how many followers you have.

This season of life can feel lonely at times. You might lose friends along the way, but you will also meet the people that will be in your life forever.
