Find solace in touching your deepest wounds. There you will find yourself. There you will find peace.
It's really 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.
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.
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.
Because in the end, if you take this journey, you will find out that the fears you had weren't so big at all. There were just shadows dancing in the night trying to make you believe they were something else.
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.
