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 bucket 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 people from your life. In fact, it often means gaining. As they leave, they’re freeing up space in your life for you to work on your self-made scratches and dents caused by the passersby. And in doing so, you are healing, mending, and growing.
This path is all about taking it slowly but surely, where your heart is at its calmest state because you’re not rushing it—you’re not rushing it to love, to mend, 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 selfish you were to your own self by failing to give the love you deserve. Love—you owe this to yourself. Darling, learn to fill your heart with so much love first before filling others' hearts. Remember, you cannot give what you don’t have.
This is the path that everyone is grateful for having passed through, because it leads to your grown self—independent, stronger, and most importantly, healed.
