Everything is beautiful and people are happy
Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.

Finding Balance: of surgeries and Life
You must Walk Alone
If you ever get the chance, go alone. Walk alone, travel alone, live alone, dance alone. Just for a while. If you ever get the chance, learn who you are when the world isn’t demanding you be one way or another.
Most people only know how to stand on their own if someone else will stand beside them. Don’t let that be your story.
When you get the chance, know that the opportunity to walk alone, even for a bit, is a rare gift, one that will hand you insight that can change the course of your life.

Words matter….
Instead of saying I know what it feels like”, let’s say “I cannot imagine your heartbreak”.
Instead of saying, “You’re strong, you’ll get through this, let’s say ” You’ll hurt, and I’ll be here.
Instead of saying, “You look like you’re doing well, Let’s say, “How are you holding up today?”
Instead of saying, “Healing takes time”, let’s say “Healing has no timeline”.
Instead of saying, “Everything happens for a reason, let’s say “This must feel so terribly senseless right now”.
And when there are no words to say at all, you don’t need to try and find some. Love speaks in silences too.
