three steps to emotional healing

one: breaking 

when something breaks you emotionally, you may feel as if you will never find solace so you’ll give up, you’ll succumb to the destruction. you may reach a state of denial where you’ll ignore the broken pieces roaming inside you, as if they cease to exist. but darling, you must embrace this wreckage. grasp it with both hands and let it teach you a lesson but please remember to not let it consume you. you see, one day, the breaking will leave, for it is not eternal, try to not let it control your decisions or overpower your thoughts. remind yourself that you are bigger than the breaking, you’re stronger, kinder, more powerful than it’ll ever be. remember, God tests those He loves dearly so if you reach a point where you can longer think clearly, please seek refuge in Him. soon you’ll understand the breaking stage is fleeting, you’ll soon know of peace again.

two: bleeding 

maybe the breaking completed you. maybe you could no longer escape the demolition. you see, sometimes pain presents itself explicitly in form of tears, through anger or even through moments of sorrow. other times it’s hidden away in the corners, embedded deep. it may make a brief appearance now and again but just because you cannot always feel it does not mean it’s not lingering. when the breaking reaches its peak and you’re submerged, made to feel numb by it, you may bleed. you see, sometimes the brokenness turns itself into bleeding. you must accept the bleeding but darling, do not let it instil fear inside you, do not let it forget the best parts of you. the parts that have survived this far. the beautiful parts of you that still remain, you need to care for them now. bleed my dear but please do not lose your hope, do not lose your patience. 

three: healing

you will learn that in order to heal you must first forgive yourself. remember that the best of us are those who are merciful, so be merciful to the first person you meet and the last, yourself. secondly, you must learn to pour love back into every artery that runs through you, now is time to tend to your wounds. the suffering you have endured has built you into a person of strength, determination and integrity. lastly, try your hardest not to blame it, do not resent it nor pretend it never happened. understand that without hardship there is no ease. please listen when i say, everything that was meant destroy you hasn’t yet, so please do not forget that you were brought onto this earth for a special reason, you are loved, you have purpose. remember healing takes time, don’t rush a gentle process. you must let it happen then you must let it go and i promise you’ll soon find your healing.
