"When you are somewhere in the depths of healing, you will often experience two vastly different emotional states – a mixture of happy and sad, optimistic and pessimistic, carefree and anxious, hopeful and hopeless, calm and chaotic. And that’s okay. Please be gentle with yourself." These words are for the ones who are trying to heal wounds they never deserved to suffer. For the ones who need a reminder that their childhood trauma, mental health or heartbreak does not define them. For the ones who are still learning what it means to be human, with deep and messy emotions. For the ones who need to know that everything they are feeling is normal, and they are going to be okay. For the ones who need hope and encouragement on their darkest days. For the ones who need a reminder that they are worthy and deserving of love. For the ones who are not quite healed, but are somewhere in the messy in-between. These words are for you. I hope you hold these words in your hand, and let them guide you through the depths of healing.
