Saint Patrick's Church, Portmagee, Co. Kerry

You are on the journey of your life.

Never regret the past; there was a reason for everything.

Every ‘mistake’, every ‘terrible thing’ that happened to you,

every ‘moment of weakness’ has served its purpose.

You are on the journey of your life.

You are here.

You have survived.

You have learned.

You have grown.

Acknowledge how far you have come.

Never apologise for the battles you have fought.

There is no need to hide the truth of who you are.

The only shame is to have a shame you are ashamed of.

Be proud of yourself.

Be proud to stand as who you are.

Be proud of who you have become.
