The healing process starts after you let go and move on from everything you’re trying to heal from.

You can’t heal from something you’re not ready to walk away from, but please understand, this will only bring more pain. It will only force more time to heal. Don’t let “love” keep you around trauma. Don’t let “love” hold you back from your growth.

Don’t settle for love. Love is an emotion, something we feel for ourselves and each other. It’s not to hold you back from doing what’s best for you. You will love a lot of people in your life, it’s not healthy to hold everyone at the standard of forever. Some will go.

Healing starts from within you. The trauma you’ve faced. The burdens you’re carrying. The regret that’s holding you close. You need to let go of everything that makes you feel like you’re not enough. If anyone or anything makes you question your worth, that’s a sign.
