Healing is a process which will not happen overnight. You will take time to find yourself again. When the foundation has been shaken, it could take a little longer to heal. But don’t worry, you will heal for sure. When you are broken, your voice shakes, but as you begin to recover, you regain your self-esteem.
Did I mention, you will find yourself unattractive and unworthy? That’s when you must get up and look at yourself in the mirror and remind your broken soul that nothing can hold you from healing and loving yourself. You can’t let your past baggage weigh down your present. No matter how unfathomable the day may look like, remember it will draw to a close and there will a dawn of hope. Tomorrow will be a better day, whether you like it or not.
Here’s the thing about healing, your heart does not mend in the blink of an eye. You will heal one crack at a time, one piece at once. You must have patience along with a strong grit to recover. You will heal only if you are willing to heal. If you constantly indulge in self-loathing, then odds are you could go into severe distress or worse you might even need clinical help.
The very fact that you are still breathing despite witnessing your world crash right in front of you shows that you are strong.
One thing that you must remember is that you cannot heal by leaping into the arms of someone else, you will heal only if you embrace the shattered pieces of yourself. Well, of course, others can extend their support but they cannot make a whole again. When you set your hurt free and embrace happiness, that’s when you know you are starting to heal.
Although you might feel help helpless at times, you must not forget the hidden power within you that only you can unleash. When you stop thinking how severely they’ve damaged your soul and forgive them, that’s when you know that your soul is healing. If your heart does not feel like talking to anyone, then honour it.
Don’t hesitate if you want to seek guidance. If you want to talk to someone, go up to the one you can confide in and just pour your heart out. They will understand you and give you a shoulder to cry on. You will be surprised to see how much this can help.
Even after all this, if you are not convinced and you want to stay alone, take your time to move on. Don’t pressurize yourself to be alright. It WILL happen eventually. Just remember, your healing is not defined by how swiftly you can love again or party all night, it is determined by your journey of self-discovery and healing. If you have mastered the art of making the most of the moment right now, then you have achieved what most of us are trying to chase.
