Negative thoughts can be loud.
For a lot of people myself included it can feel so easy to fall into them.
And it makes sense.
There is so much horrible, painful, unfair, terrifying happenings in the world.
It happens to us.
It happens to people we love.
It happens every day.
It happened yesterday.
It will happen again tomorrow.
That’s scary.
That’s painful.
That hurts.
I’ve lived it.
Others have lived it.
And we’ll all walk through more hard moments as this world keeps turning.
But here’s the epiphany that brings me back when my thoughts start spiralling:
There is something more powerful than all of it.
By a bazillion times and yes we I like to think we all experience it in some way.
Love.
The love I have for my children and partner.
The love I have for my friends and nature.
The love I’m learning to have for myself.
The love we share with one another.
That love is what gives me strength.
That love is what steadies my thoughts.
That love is what gently switches me out of the darkness.
Sometimes I forget.
And that’s okay.
I just have to bring myself back.
Back to the things that have given me love before.
Back to the things that give me love now.
Back to the beautiful moments still waiting for me in the future.
Love is continuous.
Love is forever.
Love is everlasting.
And when everything feels heavy, which it will, that’s where I return 🤍
