I had a lovely conversation today with one of my favourite people. We talked about healing and what it can really look like.
For her, right now, it looks like permission.
Permission to be herself.
Permission to make mistakes.
Permission to get back up and try again.
To me, this is love.
No judgment.
No negative self-talk.
Just softness.
Softness with the self isn’t always easy,
but it is always necessary for growth.
It’s funny how we grow together without even realizing it.
We are all secretly expanding quietly (or loudly)alone, and yet together. We are surrounded by the people who inspire us to keep going, even when we want to throw in the towel.
…And I’ve wanted to do that a lot lately.
But I am so very blessed.
Blessed to have the kind of people in my life
with whom I can grow in the safety of each other’s presence, softly, and with purpose.
