“Healing involves discomfort. But so is refusing to heal. And over time, refusing to heal is always more painful.” —Resmaa Menakem
‎
‎Healing is rarely easy. It can feel uncomfortable and exhausting at times, yet choosing to not heal allows pain to linger and grow with us. Feeling discomfort during healing is okay, it means you're choosing to grow as a person❤️‍🩹🌱.
‎
‎We may not always see the battles others face but we can meet them with empathy, kindness, and understanding🌻
‎
‎Healing takes time—but no one has to walk that path alone. 🌿✨

This is Day 32 of Lifeline Life Notes.

"Pierced by love, patched by self love"

Never let a heartbreak break you💔, instead, allow it to transform you into the stronger and loving person you're meant to become💟.

Just because someone broke your heart, doesn't mean that you don't deserve love anymore.

You are worthy of love, and love doesn't always mean that it must come from others, it should always start within yourself❤.

It is one of the greatest love to ever exist💖, because when we learn how to love ourselves, we learn to grow and value ourselves more💛💞.

This is Day 31 of Lifeline Life Notes.
