In this week’s On Being Human series, we’re honored to share this evocative poem by Alex Madsen, reminding us how easily we can become tangled in time, urgency, and the search for something more. 🖤 alex madness

Not every relationship is meant to last forever, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t meaningful.

Throughout our lives, people enter and leave our stories for many different reasons. Some stay for years, while others are only with us for a season. Yet each relationship has the potential to teach us something about ourselves, challenge us to grow, or provide support when we need it most.

While endings can be difficult, they can also remind us of the impact people have had on our journey and the lessons we carry forward.

“Nostalgia is proof that it mattered.”

Some memories make us smile. Others bring a sense of longing. Often, they do both at the same time.

Nostalgia can remind us of people we’ve loved, places we’ve been, and seasons of life that helped shape us. While we can’t go back to those moments, reflecting on them can help us appreciate the growth, connection, and experiences we’ve carried forward.

June is a reminder that everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and accepted for who they are.

At Foster Counseling & Therapy, we believe that healing begins in spaces where people feel safe to be their authentic selves. This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community while recognizing the importance of connection, understanding, and mental health support.

No matter where you are on your journey, you deserve compassion, respect, and a place where your story matters. 🌈

🌿 June is here, and with it comes a new opportunity to slow down, check in with yourself, and practice self care in simple, meaningful ways.

Self care does not have to be expensive, time consuming, or picture perfect. Sometimes it looks like taking a walk, setting a boundary, calling someone you love, or simply noticing the beauty around you. Small actions can make a big difference when it comes to supporting your mental health.

As we move into a new month, which self care challenge are you most excited to try? Let us know in the comments. 💚
