Healing doesn't happen in a straight line.

Some days you move forward,  some days you rest - both are part of your journey.  Like the wolf,  stay grounded,  like the butterfly,  trust your timing. You're still blooming,  even on show days. #WolfStregth #LupusAwareness #healingwithwords #ButterflyStrong

Healing Doesn’t Mean Forgetting!
Healing is often misunderstood. People think it means erasing the past, pretending nothing happened, or forcing yourself to move on as if it didn’t hurt. But real healing doesn’t work like that. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting, it means finding peace again. You don’t have to forget what you went
