💔The Heart & Key of the City🔐

Sometimes your biggest losses end up introducing you to your biggest gains.

Sometimes, you do not end up with the person your heart chooses. Sometimes, you cannot make your love a one size fits all for the circumstances or the changes that are unfolding in your life. Sometimes you have to lay all of your hope down; you have to stop it from pouring out of you and into a love that will never be enough to meet you where you are right now. But you cannot forget that in walking away, in creating that space, you are giving yourself the opportunity to meet the person who will stay. The person who show up for you. The person who will understand the depth of your feeling, the person who will make you understand why it never worked out with anyone else, and you are going to be so glad that you worked through the loss, that you let go with grace, because it led you to them.

Sometimes, the hardest seasons of your life are growing you into a version of yourself that recognizes your own strength, that believes in your capacity to rebuild even the most broken parts of who you are. Sometimes, it is within those moments, it is within that dark, where you meet your survival, where you learn to weather whatever storm life manages to send your way. And sometimes, you will not know where this quiet power has come from, you will not know how or when the healing began, but it will be there. It will always arrives, quietly in the night, after weeks, or months, or years of pushing your way into the world. And it is within that reality, it is within that softening, that you will be reminded of all the ways you continue to beat the odds. It is within that journey, it is within that fight, where you will be reminded of how you overcame all of the things you once thought would defeat you.

At the end of the day, you must remember this — energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed. The Universe does not take without giving, and it is within the messiness, and the aches of life, where you will finally be introduced to the beauty, where you will finally be introduced to the light.

« This is your reminder that everything will get better. This is your reminder that every last detail of what is causing struggle in your life is only temporary. Every inch of doubt, worry, uncertainty, grief, and tribulation that you are being faced with will soon pass. Everything always passes. Trust in that.
This is your reminder to sit with yourself, to become familiar with your space and your emotions so that you can acknowledge them and feel them and then, let them go. The sooner you let lingering emotions pass through you, the sooner you confront them and allow yourself to deal with what is going on inside of you, the sooner you can move on. You are allowed to take time to heal.
This is your reminder that everything will be okay. As each day progresses things will become clearer, because you will be growing, you will be mending. You will be your own hero. You will save yourself.
You will replace pain with gratitude.
You will feel empowered where you once felt hopeless.
You will open doors where you once saw nothing.
Because trust me when I say — pain doesn’t last. Scarcity doesn’t last. Fear doesn’t last. What lasts in this life is the strength you develop when you push yourself forward, when you choose to heal yourself even when it hurts.
So — this is your reminder to keep moving, to keep creating, and to keep having hope in better days. I promise they are almost here. »
