Healing comes with peace.Awareness is always the first step

"Imagine walking around with a wound you didn’t even know you had...

But now that I was aware of mine, it was my responsibility to tend to it.

Our trauma may not be our fault, but our healing is always our responsibility. Because as the popular phrase goes,

'If you don’t heal what hurt you, you will bleed on people who didn’t even cut you.'

And for the first time in my adult life, I realized that if I didn’t address this wound now, I would just continue living from it. Which meant that I will eventually—and inevitably—find myself again in another one of those sacrificial, painful relationships full of drama to overcome for the promise of love. And that it was up to me to decide whether I wanted to continue living from that vicious cycle that I had already normalized.

What we normalize will always find us."

—Jovanny Varela, excerpt from Gentle Reminder No 127: What You Find Normal Will Find You

This comes one of the most honest pieces I've written about that crucial moment in the healing journey, where one says "enough is enough," and what it takes to move through it. If you are in the moment, or are about to reach it, I wrote this one for you ❤️🫂

Being truthful to yourself is the only way to attain true love

"When you’re in search of genuine love with another human, you’re not only 'getting to know them:'

You are getting to know more about yourself in a relationship with someone; who you are as a person when you are relating; how much you hide; how much of yourself you’re able to bring into a conversation.

Because if your goal is to meet someone and know them for who they really are, but you yourself are hiding, then you’re only getting to see who they are in relationship to the mask that you’re wearing.”
