I try to focus on the fact that whatever I’m feeling right now, no matter how intense, painful and distressing; is temporary.

I’ve spent a lot of time holding onto things and people that brought me misery because I was afraid of the void that may be there once I let go. I know now my voids were just as illusionary as the fear and insecurities that created them.

Every step I’ve taken has rewarded me with a lesson and every single setback and disruption has straightened out in a manner that befits me.

I promise you are under no obligation to have it all together all the time.

Transitional periods can be painful, but they are crucial for your growth. Please allow this process to take you where you need to be.
