HEALING ISN’T JUST ABOUT GETTING BETTER. IT’S ABOUT FEELING THINGS YOU MAY HAVE SPENT YEARS TRYING TO SURVIVE. ❤️

We talk about healing as if it’s this beautiful journey where you learn to love yourself, find peace, and move forward. And while those things can be part of it, there’s another side that doesn’t always get talked about.

Sometimes healing is messy. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes it means finally acknowledging feelings you’ve pushed down for years.

And sometimes, it means feeling things you don’t even have the words for yet.

It can look like…

🖤 ANGER — being angry about what happened, what you lost, and what you deserved but didn’t receive.

💔 GRIEF — mourning the childhood, experiences, relationships, or version of yourself you wish you could have had.

😔 SADNESS — allowing yourself to feel the hurt you’ve spent years trying to push aside.

😰 ANXIETY & FEAR — worrying about the future, questioning yourself, or struggling to feel safe even when nothing seems wrong.

😶 NUMBNESS — feeling disconnected from your emotions because sometimes feeling nothing seems easier than feeling everything.

🪞 SELF-DOUBT — questioning your own experiences, wondering if it was really that bad, or convincing yourself you’re just too sensitive.

🥀 LONELINESS — feeling misunderstood, struggling to connect with others, or isolating yourself even when a part of you desperately wants connection.

😤 RESENTMENT — wondering why you had to go through certain things and why the people who should have helped didn’t.

😮‍💨 RELIEF — finally acknowledging your feelings and realizing you don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay.

🌱 SELF-COMPASSION — learning to give yourself the understanding, patience, and grace you may have needed all along.

🤍 HOPE — beginning to believe that things can feel different, that you can learn new ways of coping, and that your past doesn’t have to define every part of your future.

And sometimes, you can feel several of these emotions in the same day. You can feel angry about your past and hopeful about your future. You can be proud of how far you’ve come and still grieve what you’ve been through.

Healing isn’t a straight line, and there’s no single right way to experience it.

I’m learning that healing doesn’t mean pretending the past didn’t hurt. It means giving myself permission to acknowledge how it affected me, understand the ways I’ve learned to cope, and slowly figure out what I need moving forward.

I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one trying to make sense of feelings that can be difficult to explain.

I want to start talking about these emotions, one at a time. Not because I have all the answers, but because sometimes putting our experiences into words helps us feel a little less alone.

Maybe we don’t have to have it all figured out to start talking about it.

Maybe we just have to be willing to start.

Did anyone ever teach you how to love yourself!?

I am someone who is always watching for signs from above. For those of you who don’t know, my Grandma died on my 20th birthday while pregnant with my oldest son. This didn’t come as a shock to me as she knew full well I already hated my birthday lol and for some reason I think she wanted the day to have a special meaning(obviously besides me😆). I have strong belief that she is always watching over me and my little family. There have been so many moments of my life that I have asked her just to show me sign it’s all going to be good. The last few months have been more than challenging for me for multiple reasons and my husband is always my constant safe place, my calm in the storm and today is our 17th wedding anniversary. Maybe it’s corny but I think this beautiful rainbow tonight is her blessing our anniversary and telling me I’m in the right place. Maybe you believe in these things, maybe you don’t. But I know one thing for certain believing in these things has helped me get through the grief. Look for signs, they are all around you I promise 💕

The life behind the smile… 🤍

For years, I’ve mastered the art of smiling even when I was falling apart inside.

Growing up, I learned pretty quickly that if I wasn’t smiling, people had something to say. Why are you so angry? She’s such a brat. And sometimes, words that hurt even more.

So I learned to smile. Not because I was happy, but because it was easier than dealing with the judgment that came when I wasn’t.

What people didn’t see was the anxiety. The depression. The constant battle happening inside my head. The days when I was struggling more than anyone knew, but still showed up, still laughed, still made sure everyone around me thought I was okay.

And somewhere along the way, I became really good at hiding it.

But the thing about hiding your pain is that eventually, people stop looking for it. They see the smile and assume you’re fine. They see your personality, your strength, your ability to keep going, and they never think to ask what it takes to get through the day.

The truth is, being misunderstood for so long changes you. You start questioning yourself. You learn to keep things inside. You become afraid of being seen as too much, too emotional, too angry, or not enough of whatever people expect you to be.

And even as an adult, those things don’t just disappear. You carry them with you. Into your relationships, your friendships, your motherhood, and the way you see yourself.

But I’m learning that I don’t want to spend the rest of my life hiding parts of myself just to make other people more comfortable.

I’m learning that I can be struggling and still be worthy of love. I can have bad days without being labeled as a bad person. I can feel deeply, hurt deeply, and not have to apologize for being human.

I’m learning to give myself grace for the years I spent just trying to get through. To show compassion to the little girl who felt she had to hide her feelings and to the woman who has carried that weight for so long.

I may not have it all figured out. I still have hard days. I still have moments when that old version of me wants to put on the smile and pretend everything is fine.

But I’m learning that my worth isn’t determined by how comfortable I make other people feel. And I no longer want to measure my healing by how well I can hide my pain.

Maybe it’s time to let people see more than the smile.

Not for sympathy. Not for attention. But because my story deserves to be told, too.

And if you’re someone who has been doing the same thing, smiling through the anxiety, the sadness, the heaviness that no one else sees, I hope you know this:

You don’t have to pretend to be okay to be worthy of love. You never did. 🤍

I love podcasts that make me feel a bit less alone in the what I think are uncommon attributes & this one was everything! I instantly started listening to her book right after! This wasn’t as much about ADHD(though I do believe I am undiagnosed) as much as it was about have big and intense feelings! WOW literally mind blown by her book already, if you are a big feeler, labeled sensitive or for me always referred to as a “cry baby”, this one is for you! Lewis Howes
