Sometimes life doesn’t give you closure— it gives you courage instead.

This wolf didn’t wait for the forest to part, for the path to be clear, for the pain to make sense. He just walked forward— with questions still unanswered, and wounds still healing.

Because strength isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like waking up and choosing to keep going, even when the weight of yesterday still sits heavy on your back.

So when the past knocks, don’t open the door— open your chest, breathe deep, and remind yourself:

You are not what broke you. You are what survived it.
