✨ Friday Reflection | Finding Your Way Back ✨
This week, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to heal.
There was a time when I felt… damaged.
Damaged from grief.
Damaged from being laid off.
Damaged from things not happening the way I hoped or as quickly as I needed.
Damaged from having so much change happen in such a short amount of time.
And if I’m being honest, it was hard.
But one thing I’ve learned is this:
Ignoring those parts of you doesn’t mean they never existed.
It just means you’re not ready to face them yet.
For a long time, those damaged parts of me were in control.
They controlled my mood.
They controlled my energy.
They controlled how I responded to life.
And when you stay in that place, you don’t move forward. You stay stuck.
You stay in a holding pattern where everything feels heavy.
And it took me a long time to get out of that.
But I can finally say this:
💛 I’m getting back to me.
It's not the perfect version.
It's not the version that has it all figured out.
But the version of me that is healing.
The version of me that is choosing to move forward.
And that matters.
If you’re in a place where you feel stuck, please know that healing doesn’t mean those parts of you disappear it means they no longer control you.
