You can get up in the morning,
make yourself some coffee,
brush your teeth and wash your face,
and breathe in and out all day long.
You can shower.
You can do your hair.
You can put makeup on if you feel like it.
You can get dressed.
You can smile even though it hurts.
You can laugh even though you were crying a moment…
