l've seen people who were thoroughly convinced their lives were over, start fresh— and build something entirely different.

Don't believe everything you think when you're in pain or mourning a loss.

I'm not saying time heals all by itself. I am saying give yourself time.

Progress isn’t straightforward. You often go backwards or have to sidetrack or turn around, and that’s just the nature of life! Even the steps backward taught you something, so they were part of your progress! ✨

Most people say they want a secure relationship, but they're not willing to accept the behaviors that actually create one. They want constant reassurance but reject boundaries. They want honesty but can't handle feedback.

Healthy partners don't perform security. They live it through their choices, even when it's uncomfortable. That's what separates codependence from real connection.

Like this if you're done settling for less and follow for more on what secure love actually looks like.

"When I feel sad, or grief brewing up, this song can take me to a dream like state. Similiar to an EMDR session," submitter Kevin Casbeer shares. Kevin goes on to explain that "Tezeta (or Tizita, Amharic: ትዝታ) is an Amharic term meaning memory, longing, or nostalgia. [It represents] a popular Ethiopian musical genre and scale that evokes deep emotions of loss, grief, and sentimental affection for the past. Often compared to the blues, it is a staple of Ethiopian jazz."

Kevin works on our Homeless Outreach Team, or HOT, a group that links unhoused people to support services in the community. You might just find them (and Kevin) at your local library, among other places!

Most delayed apologies get delayed not because the person doesn't care but because they don't know how to start. The longer the wait the harder the start becomes.

Starting imperfectly is almost always better than not starting. The other person has been waiting. The first sentence is the whole door.

Save this for the next time you need it.

Recovery takes longer than trauma for the same reason building a structure takes longer than demolishing it.

Demolition & trauma are thoughtless & violent— whereas recovery & building require thought & care & planning & skill & resources & patience & belief in a vision.
