From Holding Pain to Honoring Truth: My Healing Journey

From Holding Pain to Honoring Truth: My Healing Journey

“You are not broken. You are becoming.”

For a long time, I carried my pain in silence. I became an expert at pretending everything was fine while my heart whispered for help beneath the surface. The weight of unspoken emotions, old wounds, and quiet panic built up until my body could no longer hold it. I would feel it rise like a tide ~ panic attacks, tightness in my chest, the overwhelming urge to run or disappear.

But something within me ~ soft, sacred, and persistent ~ guided me to pause.
To stop running from my story.
To sit with what hurt, even when it felt unbearable.

Instead, I was called to write it.
To name the pain.
To breathe with it.
To offer it the compassion I was never taught to give myself.

There was no roadmap. Only tiny moments of clarity, soft rituals, and a voice inside saying, “You are not alone.”

🌙 Still Healing, Still Here

This healing journey is not something I’ve completed ~ it’s something I return to every day. 

It's in the calming practices I reach for when my nervous system begins to unravel.
It's in the quiet rituals that remind me: you are safe now.
It’s in the stillness, where I can finally hear the voice of my inner child ~ the one who just wants to be seen, held, and heard.

There are still days where I slip into old patterns, where I question my worth, shut down, or feel like I’m too much. But now I have tools. And more importantly, I have truth. And I let that truth anchor me in the present.

“Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to hide.”

💫 If You’re on This Path Too…

Let this be a gentle reminder:
You don’t need to rush.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
Your story matters ~ even the parts you’ve kept in the dark.

There is no perfect timeline. No linear process. Just small, sacred choices:
To rest. To feel. To release. To begin again.

Slow down. Trust in your truth. And when your heart feels heavy, listen closely ~ your inner child has something sacred to say.

🕯️ A Gentle Invitation

If this resonates with you, I invite you to take a deep breath, place a hand over your heart, and whisper:

“I am healing. I am enough. I am worthy of love.”

You are not alone.
And already, you are growing.
