There aren’t words that can fully describe the profound ache of a broken heart. It is a primal, pervasive, and paralyzing pain designed evolutionarily to signal a rupture in our social bonds.

Heartbreak is the destruction that dances alongside creation. It is painful, and it is full of wisdom.

Our lessons of a broken heart continue, as it acts as a catalyst to bring up our deepest wounds and rearrange our orientation to ourselves, those around us, and the world.

Every single person deserves this reminder and to drink it in like daily medicine: your worth and value—as the indelible person you are—has nothing to do with the capacity of any other person to meet you in that splendor.⁠

One of my favourite definitions of anxiety is that it is the intolerance for the unknown.

This intolerance builds up as energy that is ready to action, but has nowhere to go.

Resilience is not how much you can take. It is not about staying "strong" in the face of challenges and adversity or standing back up after getting knocked down.

For many of us, we learned that taking care of the needs of others and minimizing our own meant the preservation of our survival. ⁠

For those of you who have had to endure the pulling away, the silencing, the sudden absence, and neglect- I'm sending the biggest hug that says I see you and acknowledge you exist in all of your humanness. And honor that ghosting is even more painful when there has been a history of abandonment and neglect.
