We all walk a certain path, the path where everything is all about us. The path where your hero is you, and you have to be your own safe haven.
This is where you will fully understand that people come and go. Some may stay a little longer and even leave behind bits and pieces of lessons and memories, but they will eventually walk out of your door. Every time this happens, it adds strength and growth to your soul and reassures you that, despite the people who came and left, you are still okay. You will be okay.
This is the path where you will realize that people leaving doesn’t always mean losing them from your life. In fact, it often means gaining something instead. As they leave, they free up space in your life for you to work on the scratches and dents left behind by passersby. And in doing so, you heal, mend, and grow.
This path is all about taking things slowly but surely, where your heart is in its calmest state because you’re not rushing it—you’re not rushing it to love, to mend, or to heal. You’re giving it all the time it needs. After all, time heals, and we all heal in time.
This is the path where your top priority is self-love. This is where you will pick up your tired self from loving others too much when you should have been pouring that love into yourself. This is where you will realize how unfair you have been to yourself by failing to give yourself the love you deserve. Love—you owe this to yourself. Darling, learn to fill your own heart with so much love first before trying to fill the hearts of others. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have.
This is the path everyone becomes grateful for having gone through because it leads to a stronger, more independent, and most importantly, healed version of yourself.
