Find solace in touching your deepest wounds. There you will find yourself. There you will find peace.
It's completely okay to not be okay.
Because sometimes, it really isn't okay.
Sometimes you're not okay, and you don't have to put on a smile trying to convince everyone you're alright.
Sometimes, things really do hurt you...badly...and you don't have to pretend that you're unwoundable.
We all are. That's what makes us human.
That's what makes each of us unique. We suffer in different ways. Experience life in different ways.
Life would be very boring if there weren't any opportunities to get hurt. But that's what makes life worth living - the ability to risk for the reward and to recover when we lose.
Be real as all hell. Be authentic. Be every last inch of yourself and never stray from your path.
Every time you try to pretend, your soul knows your lying. You're cheating on your true nature and are completely out of alignment with what you know is right.
The greatest healing is done with honesty, compassion, and love towards yourself. If we can turn our compassion towards ourselves and heal old wounds, we allow ourselves to take on the pains of others with compassion as well.
But when we avoid our own suffering, we will continue to suffer endlessly.
Healing is done when you head straight into the dark. Straight into the shadows of what you're scared of - lantern in hand - willing to shed light onto your fears.
This journey won't be the easiest journey of all, but it will be worth it. Because when you finally dive in, you're going to be able to truly see for the first time that all of the dancing shadows of your fears were just shadows and nothing truly real.
Don't worry about heading into the dark tunnel of fear...
You are the light.
And as the light, you will illuminate even your greatest of worries.
