Once upon a time, I thought healing is a linear process...

That's a myth

Have you heard about the 7 stages of grief? I thought if I was diligent, I'd go through it in the right order and be done

But no

I'd make progress and then go back ten steps - my therapist told me to be kind with myself during this process - for some it takes a long time to make peace with the past

But I promise you, one day you will feel indifferent to the past and be in a much better emotional space 💙
