Everything Goes Away Even The Rain

Stopping is not the same as going backwards. Sometimes we need to clear our minds, reflect on the reasons behind things, and gently embrace the hidden lessons in every experience, no matter how hard they may seem.

An overwhelmed mind cannot think, and not thinking is a form of betraying yourself. You don’t always have to carry everything, and that’s okay. I understand. Give yourself the gift of pausing, to love yourself, to watch the rain fall outside the window, to accept that pain exists, that tears bring release, and that you don’t always have to be the “incredible” woman or man.

There is a time for silence, a time to recognize your humanity. A time to be vulnerable, and to find peace with yourself, even in the midst of tragedy.

It’s okay not to be brave all the time. It’s okay to feel alone. It’s okay to lower your head and your arms. The only thing that isn’t okay is building a home inside sadness. Embrace it, then let it go.

Because everything in life goes away. EVERYTHING. Even the rain.

With love,
