They cannot
be separated.
To heal
means to face the suffering.
But also
to distinguish your own suffering
from the suffering of others.
They inflicted
this pain on you,
very often without knowing
how deeply it would affect you.
It feels
as if hundreds of different stories
have been written inside you.
Painful stories
of abandonment,
of hurt,
of silence—
stories that became heavy
and settled somewhere within you.
You chose
to stop the circle.
You want to
write a new story
and not impose your pain
on those who will come after you.
So be blessed.
For you have chosen
one of the most difficult roads
you can take.
But at the end
there is also light.
Not only darkness.
You refuse
to go blindly.
You refuse
to go alone.
You know
that the light comes from within.
And you know
that love is on your side.
