Find solace in touching your deepest wounds. There you will find yourself. There you will find peace.
It's okay to say "it's not okay."
Because really, as much as we pretend, sometimes it 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.
Life hurts at times. Even as much as you would probably like to be completely unwoundable, you're not. We are all woundable.
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.
But this is beautiful because it's all something that we share. If we were all perfect and had no scars, our lives would all be incredibly dull and boring.
But you never get anywhere by being fake. You have to be real. You have to be so real that the world sees you for who you truly are.
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.
True healing is done when you decide to take serious amounts of love and compassion to your deepest wounds. You have to be willing to go to the deepest darkest corners of your heart where you are hurting badly and gently touch those wounded places.
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 ever worry about taking the journey deep into the dark...
Because you are the light.
And as the light, you will illuminate even your greatest of worries.
