Healing is a process that begins with acknowledging and accepting your pain, rather than avoiding or denying it. It involves understanding that recovery is not linear—there will be ups and downs, moments of progress and setbacks. Healing requires patience, compassion, and the willingness to face the parts of yourself that hurt. It may involve seeking support from others, whether through friends, therapy, or community, as well as engaging in practices that nurture your mind, body, and soul. Ultimately, healing is about embracing your vulnerability, learning from your experiences, and gradually rebuilding your sense of self. It’s not about forgetting the past, but rather finding a way to move forward with more resilience and wisdom.
