Healing

Healing is a lifelong journey, and it’s one that you have to take alone. Sure, you may meet some people on the way, but ultimately they are just there for enhancement. They shouldn’t get in the way of you and your internal happiness.

I say “internal” because you can have friends or people who make you happy when you’re around them, but who do you always have at the end of the day?

Yourself. The way others treat you determines whether or not you should keep them in your life. Are they assisting you on your journey, or are they holding you back? Are you wasting the energy on them that YOU need in order to heal and become the best version of yourself? Stop trying so hard to force something to stay in your life if it’s weighing you down. If they don’t want the help, you can’t help them (-gabby boley<3). Always remember that crying is not a setback. Having emotions is never a setback. Healing is not linear. There are constant ups and downs, but that is what life is made up of. This concept is the reason that having your own back is of utmost importance.

I use the word “you” a lot in my writings, but I’m really talking to myself. It’s hard for me to admit in my mind that I need help. I don’t know how to take care of myself alone. However, I am learning. I hope you can learn along with me, too.
