You held my heart in your hand.
The process of healing required me to feel my feelings and create space for my thoughts. Try to judge yourself less often, and create space for grace to talk to the parts of yourself that have been hurting. There are corners of your mind where trauma replays and pain makes you freeze.
" It's important to sort out your feelings and thoughts once in a while. Even if you try hard not to notice your wounds, they don't go away. They'll remain in the corners of your heart and keep hurting you." — Mo-tak (The Uncanny Counter)
We have to create time to feel uncomfortable. Walk with the feelings and thoughts. We need time to run away and return to those corners of our minds that are dark, scary, noisy, or quiet. Seek help to travel to these places if you can't go alone. We owe it to ourselves and the days ahead to create spaces we don't need to escape from.
Trauma, grief, death, loss, lows, and displacement are the kinds of things that we need to heal from. A continual journey of unpacking, understanding, running, catching your breath, crying, and learning. You can do the healing in your own time. Some parts will be on your terms, while other parts will be on the terms of the process. Don't fight the process (try not to fight it).
Healing is needed to lighten the load on your heart. Out of our hearts flow the issues of life, the easy things, and the difficult things, too.
Wounds leave a little debris in the heart as time passes, with each loop of events or feelings. Each loop creates a callus or a new cut, but you'll never know which is being created until you start unpacking.
Today's call, the once-in-a-while call to 'sort out your feelings and thoughts' is through two questions:
How do you feel?
Is anything hurting today?
