my therapist told me “after you start healing past traumas and come out of fight or flight mode, your body will need a lot of rest. you aren’t lazy, your body is just trying to catch up on the calm it hasn’t received in years” then it all made sense.
Every soul, every family, lives a tapestry of moments—
some filled with joy, others heavy with pain.
But that is life: a quiet dance of light and shadow, always moving forward, never waiting, always teaching.
According to psychology, when someone truly loves you, their biggest fear isn’t losing you — it’s hurting you. But when someone only loves the way you make them feel, their biggest fear is losing access to you. Know the difference.
One thing to master as you grow older is the ability to adapt easily while maintaining your character. Some people can adapt but in that process begin to lose themselves. Learn to adapt while maintaining your authenticity.
like toni morrison said,“sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it’s not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can & behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances.”
Don’t let your past & trauma prevent you from finding the love you deserve. There is still so much love & hope out there. There are still amazing people you will meet & great relationships you will form. You haven’t met all of the people who will love you.
