Healing....when your season changes.

There are moments in our life that define us. Moments that have scarred us. Moments that have given us hope. Joy. Fulfillment. But for the moments that make us live in constant fear, fear of love, fear of moving forward, fear of success—there is one simple way to break this. I have had times in my life that weren't so pretty. Most of us have. There were some scars I had to embrace within myself. It was hard, but it was worth it.
This is not a pretty process. In order to move forward, you must be willing and want to change. You must be willing to face your fear. Do not force yourself to do this when you are not ready. You may have multiple moments you would like to do this and couldn't get up the courage. But please start with one step at a time. Healing is a process and cannot be rushed. Give yourself time before moving onto the next moment in time you want to heal.
In order to grow, one must tear down the walls and be emotionally naked. I have a sense of life revision, becoming something different, not a brand new me – but a new way of taking myself in. You must recreate your self-identity, and just as the seasons do – be ready and willing to start over, in the space your mind is now. You don’t always have to bloom to blossom, but you do have to feel the breakthrough. So many seasonal feels – the kind that demand my full attention, no more distractions, fully focused, and there is no spare time for wasted energy, or vibes.
Don’t confuse a season for a lifetime – things will change – and right now, let’s be trees and drop everything that no longer serves a purpose in our story. All is well with my soul in the Fall, and even though I may still fall down and struggle, I am better off knowing that I am not alone in this shift of perspective, this change, this momentum – these feels of truth and faith with what comes next, and how so very much it’s meant to be.
