Who stole the joy from your eyes, tore the passion from your lips, and ripped the very zest for life from your body?
Left with nothing but empty powerlessness and cold numbness within. How do you feel again? How do you get your joy, passion, and desire for life back?
Waiting patiently for life to begin to flow in my veins again. Forever wishing and praying that my heart will beat with joy once more. Wanting desperately to feel again, to care again – to want to live again. Endlessly lost in that numb, frozen state where my entire being is stuck in pause mode.
Who cares that your world was shattered into a million pieces? Who cares that people hurt you and abused you again, and again and again? Who cares – you should.
What you have been through, matters. How you felt then, matters. How you feel now, matters. You matter. Even if no one on this earth ever cared about you – you should. You deserve your own love and compassion, and that is where your healing begins.
You can’t force a rose to bloom in the snowy winter when the ground is frozen. Let the rose rest. No matter how dark and cold the winter might seem, spring will eventually emerge with its warm, comforting winds. The sun will kiss the earth once again, and nature will come to life. Each season has its time, each season is equally valuable because it all contributes to the bigger picture.
Kindness can cleanse a murky heart and purify the darkest of minds. No words are needed – kindness is the language of your soul.
When you feel weak, you are actually at your strongest of points. It takes strength to get back up when every inch of your body wants to give up. It takes strength to fight battles most people only dream about in nightmares. You are making beautiful progress
Today, no matter where you go, what you do or who you are with – be kinder to yourself. You are doing the best you can, given the emotional state you are in. We all carry our own stories with us, but it is never too late to begin to write a happier ending.
You are not limited by your past experiences or held back by your mistakes. And you are certainly not defined by other people’s opinions of you.
Embrace all that you are, flaws and all – love yourself more each time you mess up and your pain will soon transform into your strength.
Does it matter if the road was once cold and barren, if the road you are on now is warm and comfortable?
Do you want to know what can heal a broken heart and a shattered soul? Love. Love can give warmth to the coldest of hearts and nurture your body, mind, and soul. Love is the answer to the question you didn’t even know you had.
What truly matters in life
