Bring Love To Your Wounds

Bring love to your wounds, to your f*ck you scars, to the callouses still forming from overuse, to whatever in you is hard and soft at the same time, whatever in you is closed off and breaking open again and again. Bring love to all these things.

Healing will ask everything of you.

It will ask that you make space. Let go. Muster courage. Breathe. Listen to your body. Rest when you are tired. Eat when you are hungry, and even if you aren’t but know you need sustenance. It will ask you to do all the things you never saw modeled for you as a child and never learned when you were too busy surviving as an adult. It will ask everything of you.

And the greatest thing it will ask of you is that you bring love to all that hurts.

This is hard. I see your struggle. It’s brave and dignified even when it feels anything but.

This is hard.
This is so hard.
And you can do this.
