I'm not going to lie.
The process of healing from trauma (aka, living life) can be challenging at times.
It's not always easy to figure out where you are and what you need to do next.
I know that healing isn't linear or ever actually "finished," but this week has felt extra heavy for me for a number of reasons and I've been trying all my usual tools to help me out of it, but none of them seem to be easing things at the moment.
I just feel sad.
Sad about the reality that life really can just be so difficult sometimes and we can't always do anything about certain things.
I know that the beauty dances right there with the pain, but sometimes I just wish it wasn't that way.
I decided to cut some sunflowers this morning to see if that can lighten my mood a bit.
Hopefully it will remind me that even in the midst of the desert, somehow this yellow flower finds a way.
Here's to healing and hope and letting ourselves feel ALL the feelings that come and go in this messy, beautiful life.
We got this, right?
Love,
Julia
