“Sometimes you don’t realize there is underlying trauma until it surfaces to the top, and you wonder where it’s been all along and why it resurfaced when you were getting better. But that’s when you realize that it’s a test that must be passed, a wave that must be surfed and a scar that must be filled. And once it’s all passed, you can begin to heal again. And you realize the beauty that you can always, always heal again, and again.”
Even if they are irrational. Even if, logically, they don’t make sense. Even if you know it’s an improper function of your brain’s chemicals. Even if you don’t necessarily want to feel them.
Your feelings are valid, and you don’t deserve to be forced into believing otherwise.
You are loved. You are beautiful. You deserve the world.
