This post was inspired by a conversation that transpired in the Good Light community on discord, which is a beautiful space that I really hope you take advantage of. I’m incredibly grateful for the interactions we have there.
This piece might reach a more tender place for some, so drink some water, get cozy, and take a deep breath.
You say that you don’t know how to heal or you wouldn’t even know how to start anyway. And yet, I know you’re searching for something and reaching for healing even when you aren’t sure if you deserve it. That tells me that there is a piece of you that is still feeling. Even if you perceive that to be the tiniest possible molecule in your mind, body, spirit, or heart.
Listen, when you tell yourself how numb you are and focus on how numb you feel (the irony, I know) you are holding yourself in stagnant energy. You likely don’t realize it, but you are putting yourself in a holding pattern, which is precisely where you are getting and staying stuck while your dreams pass you by. Believing that your sense of apathy is unchanging can suffocate your life force. Your internal dialogue can either help you heal, or tear you apart from the inside out. You deserve an inner voice that is compassionate, not self-harming.
