These are healing tears. They are the purging of pain and my expression of gratitude. They are evidence that I have opened my wounds - some old and some new, the same patterned spiral with the same question - how did I end up here, again? Déjà vu. The same but different.
Will I tell myself the same thing? Never again. I will see. I will know better. I will listen.
But do you know what? There’s going to be more pain and more struggle. But I can trust; I have proof; I just forget. Because of the pain. But the pain is beauty, if I let go.
So open the doors: purge, release, bleed, cry, rest.
Let the light in.
Let love in.
Let yourself be taken care of.
Let yourself be little.
Let go.
Eat this blessed food.
And swim in this blessed water.
Cry an ocean of tears.
Let the ocean take you.
Thank you,
I love you.
