Healing is Self Love !

 Hello beautiful people, welcome to 2023, I know it's a bit late to say Happy New Year folks but after a long break, writing my first ever post is truly exceptional. Firstly, a big heartfelt gratitude to all my readers out there and for appreciating my expressions.

The title says it all, often times we pin healing only related to physical being but it has so much more to offer. The past year and the years before that i saw myself going through a downward spiral in life as a part of me was stuck in the superficial realm of becoming someone else, someone who has approval of everyone, someone who is flawless and is doing everything in her power to be accepted.

Trust me when i say this it burnt me, it was exhausting to put up an act that wasn't true. The Sana i know has flaws, she appreciates honesty and dislikes being fake but i couldn't help but fall back into the same patterns, same mindset of portraying someone who knows it all.

I could see similarity in my actions, i could hear my own lies and i knew at times how in the end it would all effect me adversely but yet i kept going at it and as predicted it burnt me the hope i was holding on, the approval i was waiting for never was mine.

The peace i thought this act would bring was never mine. Instead i was devasted, suffocated and tired of being someone that just wasn't me. Hours went by but i would sit still waiting for validations, waiting to be recognized and by the end of the past year i learnt something so valuable that what burns you does not mean to scar you, though it might get you wounded but it will heal and a new layering will surface turning you into someone you were you're whole life, becoming your authentic self, someone whom you know is true. Someone who isn't afraid to be themselves.

It's a season of your life and there is always blessing in breaking, you finally open your eyes and see the people that were with you all along, loving and cherishing you as always. Guiding you and protecting you from every harm, you start meeting your divine self, you admit to your mistakes, you repent and ask the Lord for forgiveness and The Almighty never left you in despair, He gifted you with parents, friends that not only stand firmly to hold you when you fall but encourage you to never give up accept you in every way and help you understand the meaning of love, consistency and acceptance.

The wounds of the past, the tears will shed away, it's okay to break and it's okay to take your time and process the grief. Those who turned their back on you were never yours let them go and celebrate what they thought you learn from the lesson and never change your self.

The ocean is deep and holds so much it keeps flowing and trust me you will heal, you will endure all challenges and the fruit of your patience will be sweeter. Never let anyone define you, discourage you. Confide in your parents, in your Lord and see the blessings unfold.

Hope this reading resonates with someone who is struggling to make it through, we are all here for you and nothing is permanent in this life. Sit with your sadness and allow yourself to cry it will provide you comfort and a sense of serene. Embrace yourself and keep transitioning just don't ever give up.
