Love and Pain Coexist 🧡

All growing up, you’re taught it’s love and light—

that love makes you so happy.

But they never told you it hurts too.

That it could shatter you.

Rip you apart

from them, to you, to them again—

until you feel like you are nothing.

You burn to feel,

and yet you feel nothing.

You feel something,

but you don’t know what it is—

you can’t describe it with words.

Nobody talks about that part.

They tell you that pain means it wasn’t real,

but really, it’s quite the opposite.

Pain means it was proof it was there.

Because when you really love,

there’s always the potential

that it will be taken away.

And you will feel the loss,

the void,

the burning desire of longing.

Every tear that falls

is purity of heart.

Every sob in the silence

is a burst ready to speak the truth.

Every sleepless night,

every dancing dream,

every shaky breath—

Love and pain coexist.

That’s how you know

it’s real.

🌅

🌿 DAY 5 — Joy: Grief and Growth Grief and joy are not opposites. They often exist in the same space. The false narrative says: “If I let myself feel this… I’ll fall apart.” But healing doesn’t come from avoiding grief — it comes from allowing it. You can trust God and still mourn.

Abuse and Love can’t coexist
I don’t believe that true love and abuse can exist in the same space. Understand that someone that truly loves you won’t continue to hurt you over and over again. Abuse is not love. #narcissists #healingjourney

Faith and Fear Do Not Coexist 🫶
Fear may knock, but faith gets the final say. When we choose to trust God, fear loses its authority over our thoughts and decisions. Faith doesn’t deny uncertainty — it anchors us in God’s truth. Every time we surrender fear, we make room for peace to take its place. God invites us to walk forward
