" Healing your heart is the most difficult wound you will ever tend to . But as you stitch up each trauma , heartbreak , and loss , you will notice the scab and then ultimately the scar forming where that open wound used to live . You will be able to gently touch that scar , remembering what used to exist in that space - but it won't hurt like it used to . You will remember the days when it was a gaping hole , spilling over with every lie , broken promise , and goodbye , but it won't fill you with existential dread . You will be able to honor that wound and everything it taught you , and then you will continue on . You will look at yourself in the mirror with kind eyes and think , " Look at you healing and living and breathing without them . I am growing and stretching and evolving and blossoming . I am healing " . words : @kaylakostyniuk 📸 unknown
