Understand "YOU"

It's A Start

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 months ago 1 min read
It's a start

“Forget what hurt you,

but never forget

what it taught you.”

This can apply to anything

from personal grief to ‘collective struggles’,

and

whilst the pain and hurt may eventually go,

we will never forget ‘the lesson we learnt.’

It's a start.

A traumatic event

can cause deep emotional scars

which linger

long after the physical pain has gone.

Forgetting,

letting go or even forgiving

releases our minds

from the chains of the past,

allowing us to move forwards

in our personal lives.

It's a start.

This is good for our mental health,

freeing our minds

so that we start to look at life

today and tomorrow.

When we embrace our experiences in life,

both good and bad,

we start to understand ourselves better.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
