"Healing Is Human"

 

What....

And if...

Two words so very unassuming...

Non-threatening as some words can be

Yet, place them side-by-side and everything changes

Suddenly whispers within the corridors of the mind can be heard

And the haunting of you can begins...

It's on the list of choices we try to understand

Do you leave people where they are at?

Do we accept situations for what they are?

And the hardest of them all, not every action needs a reaction...

Because we should never base our life decisions on advice from people who don't have to deal with the results

So many people will claim to admire you for your depth, until they have to swim in it...

They will praise your wisdom gained, until it holds them accountable

And they will love your immense light, until it exposes their shadows...

This is why boundaries can feel like a selfish act of defiance

Protecting your being is not selfish...

You have simply outgrown that version of you that once tolerated so much

It usually comes in random moments...

When some things naturally end or it is a forced release

Like the end of the month or the end of a year...

In those moments when we find ourselves lost in reflection

A understanding begins to stream through the tangled mess

Clarity begins to be seen and it's the final closing act...

To keep offering light to yourself guiding, your feet upon this journey that is you

You become the proof that it's possible to hurt and still choose kindness

That it's possible to be overlooked and still uplift another

To care and love, even when it is not returned

So give yourself the credit due...

Speak life even when it is not returned...

Actions like this is compassion at its core

And healing in human form.
