Not many talk about this bit of your healing.

It's the part where you leave the ones who drained you, and think you'll feel peace and be free from anyone pain….but first comes the loneliness.

It’s not just about missing the wrong people you walked away from, it’s missing the right people you haven’t met yet.

The thing is - you're not who you were, and you're not yet who you're becoming.

You're unlearning the old you, and that takes a hell of a lot of compassion for self.

This part is quiet, it's painfully quiet at times, but it's not the end - so go easy...

The new people will come - and they'll meet the version of you that you chose to become.

After they've been found out them going silent isn't about them calming down - it's a calculated move to control the story, punish you, and to protect their image.

So you've finally walked away - and instead ot feeling proud or tree, you feel gullty. sick and heavy. You keep asking yourself, why do I feel like the bad one when I know I did the right thing?

Here is one answer…

Healing isn't a straight line.
Some days you'll feel strong.
Other days you'll feel like you've gone backwards
Both are part of the process.
In order to truly heal, we have to get out of our heads and back into our bodies because healing isn't just about thinking differently.
It's about unlearning, feeling our emotions,
sitating an usen youre
believe who it is what we really are.
So go easy. Go slow. Compassion for all parts of you - every step of the way.
