the older I get, the more I understand what Solange meant in Cranes in the Sky. heartbreak doesnβt disappear because you stay busy. it doesnβt heal because you find someone new, book a trip, buy things, go out every weekend, or find another way to avoid sitting with yourself. healing happens when you face the pain directly, sit with the discomfort, and allow it to teach you what it came to teach you. you can distract yourself from a wound, but you canβt heal it by pretending it isnβt there.
The bible tells us to guard our heart since it determines the course of our lives. This is an important lesson to learn as we navigate life because truly, whatever and whoever has your heart will be capable of making or breaking you. Protect your heart, mind, body & soul.
