Hiding behind comfort

The shower & the pillows feel the most from us 🚿🛌😢

2025/1/24 Edited to

... Read moreIn our fast-paced world, we often seek refuge in the comfort of our homes, particularly through items like pillows that absorb our unspoken emotions. Just like a warm shower washes away the day's stresses, our pillows offer a space for reflection and emotional release. Many find that nighttime is when anxieties surface, turning our pillows into silent witnesses of our struggles. As researchers suggest, this emotional connection can have profound effects on our mental health. Having a comforting space allows for the processing of feelings that often remain overlooked in our busy day-to-day lives. This article examines how these everyday comforts play essential roles in emotional wellbeing, leading us to confront what lies beneath the surface. We encourage you to embrace the quiet conversations held within your own comfort spaces and recognize the value they hold in your mental and emotional health.

What Made Me Read Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins
I picked up Can’t Hurt Me at one of the lowest points in my life. I was tired—mentally, emotionally, physically. Tired of making excuses. Tired of being soft on myself. Tired of feeling stuck while pretending I was fine. Then I heard David Goggins say, “You are in danger of living a life so

God Is Already Working Behind the Scenes ✨
God sees what no one else sees. 💛 Your waiting, your worries, your hopes, and even the places that still hurt—He hasn’t forgotten about you. According to Deuteronomy 31:8, the Lord goes before you and will never leave you. 🙌 In your fear, He is your courage. In your sorrow, He is your comfort.

“Though it tarry… wait for it.” But let’s be real, Sis— some of us aren’t waiting… We’re stalling. Calling it “waiting on Alahim”… while avoiding the very obedience He already made clear. Waiting is not sitting still in fear. Waiting is not delaying what you’ve been instructed to do.

Did healing turn into hiding behind your hurt? ✨
#GirlTalk #lemon8challenge I’ve realized healing culture has gone a little too far. Like yes — I have trauma. You have trauma. We all do. But somewhere along the way, “healing” became the excuse instead of the goal. I used to say, “That’s just my trauma response” every time I acted out.
