STAYING UP TILL 4AM AND FINALLY PROCESSING TRAUMATIC EVENTS

…sometimes it really takes months for our brains to really process and feel all the emotions that needed to be felt before. it’s sad when you sit with yourself and realize all the pain someone put you through…but also part of life? and important for our growth… just wish it wasn’t so painful… i wish i could get angry but all i can do is sit here and cry and think about all the things i been thru at 4 in the morning…

LETTING YOURSELF NOT BE OVER IT

do i know that i should move on? absolutely. but would i only hurt myself more by denying acknowledgement of my emotions i’m actually feeling rn? for sure.
it’s okay to be in pain over a situation you know you need to move on from. and it’s okay if that pain lasts longer than you feel it should. all things happen in time. and not a linear one either.

when sad, one is creative

there’s something strange about the headAche that follows a good cry. it lingers. an aching reminder that the tEars were real. that the sadness was deep. the thrObbing in my temPles feels like a weight. but also a strange clarity. when everything seems blurred and raw. the mind is sharp in a way it’s neVer been before. it’s as though the heart and tHe mind have found a rhythm together. a rhythm that only comes with the quiet aftermath of pain. it’s during this vulnerability - when tHe world feels heavy and silent that creativity flows best. when sadness wears away the surface - the soul has space to create without barriers. there’s honesty in it, a kind of bruTal truth that can only emerge from the deepest emotions. the ache. thouGh painful. clears the path for something new to emErge. it’s almost as if the sorrow is the soil for growth, and from it, idEas sprout and twist. but i kNow that this isn’t forever. the headache will fade, and with it, the weight of tears. what once felt overWhelming will soften. moments are just the prelude to something better. the clouds will break. there will be space for the light to return.

#felt

my love and I parted ways a few months ago after our 5th anniversary. has truly been the hardest period of my entire life to slowly pick up the pieces and move on, a process that is nowhere near over even as much as I want it to be.
my biggest piece of advice is to surrender to the pain. don’t let yourself be drawn into anger and hatred, just let the crumbling happen. let the tears flow! talk to your friends about it over and over again. sit in silence with the people you love. fall asleep on the couch once in a while.
don’t bother with “why” — it’s a useless question, trust me.
