In every beat of my heart,

I realize how profusely broken I am/

In every beat of my heart,

I still marvel at how much I still long and yearn for the same things.

When people make you feel inadequate for ‘taking too much time’ to heal or label you as a ‘victim’ as you travel through your healing journey, remind yourself that:

When you heal, you are fighting off decades of embedded generational trauma. You’re unlearning parts of yourself that you no longer identify with or the parts that were glued on to you, when you had no choice but to adapt to it, in order to survive. You’re re-imagining your foundational core that was perhaps built up in your childhood. You’re stepping into a completely unknown territory for the very first time.

Doing the work of years in months is not an overnight job.

~you are re-building and that is a very brave thing to do

-

You’re already all the things they say you are not.

You can do all those things they say you can’t.

Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do something.

Don’t let anybody undermine you, you are more capable than you think you are.

-

Change. Evolve. Exceed. Thrive.

-

Me during spring:

Will you go flower gazing with me?

-

Growth is still an easier journey than happiness is.

-

Recent goal in life:

To experience all the feelings and emotions
But being less emotionally reactive

Allow emotions to reach you, serve their purpose and then leave you.

-

No matter the intensity of your fall,

You will rise,
You will feel yourself,
You will be yourself,
You will be happy,
You will be confident,

Again.

~yes, you will

-

Never allow anyone to write you off,

Have the courage to leave tables when respect and consideration is no longer served.

-

I hope that you meet the kind of people who (whether they stay in your life, or not) don’t dim the light, the sunshine, the aura, the smile of your soul, spirit and your heart.
