i have reached the point where i choose to understand. i choose to understand even if the things my loved ones do pain me. i choose to understand as long as they are still with me, as long as i can still hear their voice, and as long as i know that i may ask for their presence at any time.

i want to love them-- primarily, myself-- right, so i will make myself better.

recovery can be difficult and can take a lot longer than you expected. don’t be hard on yourself for getting burnt out. have compassion even when it feels like your not recovering “fast enough” or “correctly.” everyone is on their own path.

I Hate This Feeling

I hate this feeling I hate that after a long warm night, I could still feel blue the next morning I hate this feeling I hate that I oftentimes struggle to ignite the spark of living. I hate the feeling of emptiness When all I ever wanted is to embrace happiness I hate the feeling of being hopeless When all I ever wanted is to unleash myself and be free from darkness.

do not rush the healing process; take your time. just as a flower took a while to grow into a beautiful creature.
