It makes you assume you’re getting there, but guess not yet.
Hurting while healing?
Healing is refining, that includes struggles and
sacrifices that may lead to another scar.
A scar needed to be felt.
But it faded with time, and “Your pain is a part of your puzzle.”

We always doubt ourselves about the way we are feeling.
But what you are experiencing is valid.
So acknowledge your situation and dive into your emotions.
I allow myself to hit rock bottom.
Because when you're hurting, pain takes over.
It rises and digs deeper into you.
And, normally, you isolate yourself during this state.
You create a wall because, in actuality, it feels bigger than you.
It is too much to handle.
At its height, only you can figure out what’s happening to you.
So letting it fill me makes me understand myself, what I’m feeling.
Then, whenever you're ready,
you pick yourself up and open your doors.
you pick yourself up and open your doors.
But it’s gradual and reoccurring.
Strong negative emotions strike inside you in an instant.
And it doesn’t slip away.
It bursts into different ways you can never imagine.
It takes time to stabilize.
So don't force yourself and have the time you need.

And what matters to you differs depending on your life's season.
What you are experiencing each time is different.
There are so many times we'll question ourselves
about what's happening.
