Many of us, like Tierra, have something in our past that caused us so much hurt in our youth, teenage, or even our adult lives. Some of us think the best option is to bury that pain. We make the mistake of thinking if we don’t face it, or deal with it, it will go away.
I’m here to tell you, 100% from experience, IT WILL WAIT FOR YOU, and IT WILL SHOW UP WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT and IT WON’T BE PRETTY!
Deal with your past, your fears, your doubts, or they will deal with you. Don’t allow fears run your life. Take chances, no matter how many times you’ve gotten it wrong before. You will never get it right if you stop trying. Learn to look DEEP inside yourself, and be honest with yourself about the good, the bad, and yes, especially the ugly parts of your life. See your faults, your shortcomings, and learn from them. Take all you can from today and make tomorrow better.
Heal your broken places, get professional help, see a therapist, your clergy, a support group, talk to someone you trust, but whatever you do, DON’T continue to ignore it. Grieve and move forward so you can become the whole, complete, confident person you’re intended to be.
Then let the new you SHOW OUT for the world to see!
