Some words of wisdom ❤️
I think we are all always going to be works in progress. Ever evolving, ever changing, always learning...and even though sometimes the lessons are painful, sometimes the pain is a good teacher. I think we forget to look at the things we are going through as just part of the process of change. It's not love that hurts, it's just some people dont know what to do with it when they touch it and have it in their hands. Love is fragile enough it can slip just like sand through your fingers. In the wrong hands, it can shatter.
Over the last ten years, I've lived through a lot. I escaped a very unhealthy, abusive relationship and drove into the next one head first because I couldn't bear to be alone or look in the mirror and realize the truth. It took me ten years of failed relationships, heartbreak, loss, pain, and self loathing to realize what I think I kinda knew all along.
You can't spend every minute wishing you can go back and do things differently. You can't look back and wonder what would have happened if you'd gone left instead of right. All you can do is dig through the bad days, because when you finally get to the good days, and please believe me...they are there...they make everything worth it. Just being able to appreciate the journey and all the hard work you out in to get to where you are is the icing on the cake. And like my mother says, I am strong, I am worthy, I matter, and I really like cake. 💖
Finding wisdom in our experiences can profoundly shape our lives. The journey of healing and personal growth is often fraught with challenges, but these can lead to deeper understanding and fulfillment. Life can present us with difficult relationships that teach us critical lessons about love and ourselves. Developing resilience is essential; it allows us to face future challenges with a sense of strength and clarity. Many people struggle to let go of past relationships and experiences, often wishing they could rewrite their history. However, embracing our past, with all its flawed moments, is crucial for growth. It’s important to learn from each experience, recognizing that they are stepping stones towards becoming a better version of ourselves. Moreover, nurturing self-love is vital in the healing process. Being kind to ourselves helps in acknowledging our worth, enabling us to build healthier relationships with others. The wisdom that surfaces from tough times can be transformative, leading to healthier boundaries and a greater appreciation for the love we deserve. In conclusion, life is about the journey and the lessons learned along the way. Embracing change, acknowledging pain, and celebrating the small victories can lead to a fulfilling life. Crafting a narrative of resilience, supported by our experiences, propels us towards a brighter future.
