Time Isn’t The Healer, We Are.
Time does NOT heal all wounds. I have heard the saying that it does my whole life and used to believe it. Until I experienced the deepest grief I have ever felt - in 2023.
That experience taught me that time isn’t the healer, we are. Time allows us the space to process through those experiences, beliefs, and emotions, if we choose.
I am grateful for the lessons that experience taught me. I see now that it happened FOR me, for my growth and spiritual evolution. While I will never be the person I was before, I alchemized that pain into power and wisdom. We are all capable of this, though it is not easy.
That experience also taught me that the way we perceive what happens is so very important. I am not talking about gaslighting ourselves to seeing things falsely. But seeing our reality for what it truly is and not through the lens of our pain or past conditioning.
