YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUSH YOUR HEALING You don't have to rush your healing. You don't have to be "over it" by now. You don't have to pretend you're fine when your heart is still learning how to breathe again. Growth doesn't always look like breakthroughs. Sometimes it looks like: getting out of bed, making tea, breathing through a wave of emotion you can't name. Healing is slow. It is quiet. It is repetitive. It asks for patience, not performance. You don't bloom all at once. You bloom gently in the spaces where you choose yourself instead of abandoning yourself. So if today all you can do is begin again, that is enough. You are enough.
