"It’s just hard to accept that I spent so many years being less happy than I could have been...it would just make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself 'be strong, trust yourself, love yourself. Conquer your fears. Just go after what you want and act fast, because life just isn’t that long.'” -Pam Halpert Series Finale of The Office

I was in a terrible spot in my life, I was hospitalized with a bad case of pleurisy and in a shitty relationship that dragged me down into the depths of depression and when I saw the finale for the very first time I couldn't stop crying because I felt like she was talking directly to me. And I did exactly what Pam told me to do, I became brave and got help for my depression! I regained a will to live, I left my boyfriend and many toxic people behind me, I worked hard to build a life for myself instead of everyone else and 5 years later I'm married and moved to my favorite city and happier than I could have ever imagined. I wish I would have done it sooner but I'm glad that I did it at all.
