I want us to be mindful with how we connect when our hearts are broken, where we are not too open to receiving attention and perceived love, because I believe we all operate out of need when what gave us air seems to leave us breathless.

Sometimes the way we execute things when our emotions are not strong enough can be the downfall of our emotional stability.

So we must be mindful of our lack of control and find strength and moving through it.

The hardest pain is indeed a breakup. On any level, it just feels like a portion of ourselves

are gone and a person who is no longer in our lives but still physically

present is so painful no one talks about the loss then to see the one we lost in an unexpected

you've been fighting to hold down, but it's normal.

All of your feelings are normal and your pain is permitted.

But don't jump into something with someone when your heart is not restored from the situation that has broken you.

Don't mistake presence for purpose.

Sometimes someone showing up does not mean they are meant to stay.

Brokenness can attract comfort in disguise, and it's our yearning for relief.

We may cling to what soothes in the moment but scars us in the long run and be mindful.

All that glitters in the dark may still cast shadows when the sun rises healing is really some holy work it doesn't ask us to rush or pretend we're okay when we're not it asks us to sit with the ache to breathe through the storm to honor the lessons hidden in that silence it calls us to return to ourselves before reaching out for another

hand. Love that is whole begins with a heart that has found its own rhythm again. You are not

hard to love because you are healing. You are sacred even in your broken pieces, but when you love from a place of need instead of knowing it becomes

easy to lose yourself in the name of connection we are not meant to disappear just to feel seen

do not abandon your soul for temporary warmth and it's okay to be lonely it's okay to cry when no one takes back. It's okay to miss

what wasn't good for you. That's the truth of grieving. It's not always logical.

When you give yourself grace. Grace to want something and instill walk away. Grace to not answer

the call. Grace to rewrite your patterns even when the past
