There is a time for everything in our lives.
There is a time to heal, and there is a time to live as a human.
When we are going through a traumatic time in our life, we check out to an extent; detach or dissociate from ourselves. We do this to survive what we are experiencing. If the trauma is particularly bad, a part of us dies, and in the future, a new part will emerge. This is the natural cycle of life.
In between these two stages, we can sometimes find ourselves in a strange liminal space. Where we can feel like we're floating, or we don't know who we are or we feel alienated by those around us. We feel lost within our own lives. We feel different, and this can be scary. But we will always circle back to ourselves somehow.
Life isn't meant to be perfect. It's meant to be real, and with this comes breaking. The heart aches, our life "breaking" or our health taking a dive, but this is an integral part of life to maintain balance and ensure growth. These cycles are more about balance than before or after.
We can never go back to who we were, nor are we meant to. Because if we did, then we would never grow, learn, and evolve.
Most of humanity is either 'all human' or 'all healing', both are equally unbalanced.
Often, we can get stuck in one of these phases of breaking or becoming and forget about the middle part. The liminal space. This is the perfect place for us to just be. To live. Be human. Sleep late. Eat dessert. Have a party. Shout. Cry. Love. Dance. Enjoy all the things that come with the human experience and take a little break from the healing or the trauma. Healing is still work. It is inner work and often challenging, which is why most people opt not to do the work. It is really about your individual journey because it is tailor made for you, by you. The human part is just as important as the healing part. They go hand in hand.
Find the balance within yourself and your own life 💎💎💎
