Timeless Existential
Hey there✨️, I'm not going to lie that I know how you feel, but I'm sure I do know how this feels.
And I'd like you to know that life doesn't end when you lose yourself for a little while; there will be moments when life feels like a blur, where everything you thought you were dissolved Into the chaos of circumstances beyond your control. It's easy to believe that you've lost yourself forever, but losing yourself isn't the end; it is the beginning of a powerful transformation.
I've had 25+ years of fighting traumas, and trust me, the battles are worth the victories, but the fact remains that we don't know what will kill us until we become strong.
When you lose your way, you're not just weak; it proves that you're human, and humanity thrives in resilience. 😔😔
The hardest battles are fought in silence🔕, in sleepless nights🌙, the quiet doubts and the aching of "who am I now?". But within those questions lies the key to rediscover.
And to add, you don't need to rush this process; healing, like growth, takes time, so permit yourself to pause, to sit in the discomfort of not knowing how to breathe through the fear of uncertainty.
Life doesn't require you to have all the answers right now. There's beauty in being lost, but you must understand that it is in this season and moment of uncertainty that you learn to listen to your soul again to strip away the expectations, the roles, and the mask you've worn for others. And in that quiet space where everything feels undone, you begin to find the beautiful divine pieces you've long lost or forgotten..
