Please stop attacking the past versions of you. They were doing their best at the time and they got you here. It’s amazing how much progress you’ve made and how much you’ve grown but please don’t think your past self lacked worth in any way.

If you seriously want to change, you have to go through uncomfortable situations . Stop trying to avoid the process. It’s the only way to grow.

All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could.

"I don't believe our world needs more positivity.

I believe our world needs minds that are equipped to be with the complexity of life.

Minds that can hold nuance and polarity.

Minds that can stay grounded, centered and open to the full range of what it means to be human. " —Cory Muscara

trigger warning: self-harm

“My mother warned me about cigarettes that could cause cancer But she never told me that self-hatred can grow faster than any tumour ever could

My father warned me that I should never stop thinking But he never told me that overthinking would kill my happiness

My sister warned me about other people who might make hurtful comments about me But she never told me that instead of hearing someone else’s voice, I’d hear my own

My brother warned me about drugs in baggies sold on the street, But he never told me about the ones that people put in your glass when you’re not looking

My grandmother warned me about the devil with his tail and red horns But she never told me about his angelic smile and dark, ocean blue eyes

My grandfather warned me about booze that could kill But he never told me that if you drink enough alcohol, it tastes like love

My cousin warned me that I should lose my virginity to a guy I love But she never told me he should love me, too

My aunt warned me that if I kept eating that much, I might vomit But she never told me that even without eating anything, you can hang over the toilet and puke

My baby sitter warned me that a boy could break my heart But she never told me that if I made him mad, he’d also break my arm and nose

My teacher warned me about dangerous men with knives that could cut my throat But she never told me that I didn’t need these men to cut my skin

They all warned me that I shouldn’t do dangerous things that could kill me But I never had the chance to ask them if slitting both of my wrists vertically And taking thirty-eight aspirins, was one of these dangerous things.” —d.a.

When you allow yourself to feel your feelings, you get to allow yourself to be human. You get to allow that which wants to come through, to come through and complete its cycle.

THAT is inner work that is worthwhile. THAT is what "feel it to heal it" looks like. 

Feeling your feelings.
