“Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you’re perfect and walk into freedom.”
— Rick Warren
I wish people didn’t think silence was awkward, just enjoy it. Not every space has to be filled with words.
“Don’t be a victim of your own mind.”
— Unknown
We can't change people. But we can love them in a way that helps them grow. And sometimes that means letting go.
You didn’t do anything to deserve the pain and suffering you went through. Part of healing is understanding that and lifting that blame and guilt off of yourself. 💛
