Healing is a journey —

To discover yourself.

Moving away from things that don’t align with you.

Distancing yourself from people who hurt you.

Giving up the things that make life feel unhappy or depressing.

Healing isn’t loud.

It’s in the silent tears that drop,

The moments of realization,

The moment you discover what brings you peace.

The second you know: I need to give this up.

I need to create that time for myself.

I need to heal from this, even if it hurts.

I have to choose myself.

Not because I’m selfish,

But because my soul needs it.

My soul is yearning for peace.

My heart cannot carry this weight anymore.

And that’s how healing starts.

You choose yourself first.

You feed your soul with knowing your Lord.

You leave that relationship or friendship that isn’t befitting for you.

You cry silently.

You turn your tears into words.

You practice self-care for your soul.

You learn to accept yourself.

You work on your dreams.

You learn to sit with your emotions,

With your thoughts,

In silence and solitude.

You get up to do it,

Even if it feels hard.

Even when you know you might fail,

You still try.

That’s how healing starts —

Not noisy,

But in the silence and solitude.

Listening to your soul,

Reflecting on your life,

And choosing what really matters.
