Yup-yup-yup. 20+ years on the path, this lands so deeply. And it strikes me that all the same could all be said for long-term partnership, parenting - anything with a long arc that requires devotion 💜

Yes! I was listening to one of my favorite teachers this morning and one of the things she said was "There is no destination. There is just the next right step."

I have found that on my shittiest days if I just show up, Light/G-d whatever you want to call Source-Love, often chooses those days to work through me in brilliant ways to bless someone else. This in turn has lifted me immeasurably to know I can serve and bless no matter what I am going through.

Thank you for sharing this, I really needed to read this today. The healing is never ending, the feelings are incessant, and yet it feels like there's never enough time to catch up to the feelings before something else hits. I really resonate with the part about being tired of being the one doing the work, being the bigger person. It's exhausting and unfair. Sometimes I wonder why I chose/choose to do this and others don't and what if I just didn't but like you said it feels like healing choses people too, and not healing no longer feels like choice I can make in good faith to my inner child. I go back and forth about how to make this easier but it seems like this is just it. Hoping that in time accessing joy and pleasure become easier and help hold the weight of the healing. Thank you for your vulnerability and for letting us know we are not alone.

I often think going back to sleep would be an easier life (as if I could). I also want to heal for backwards and forwards generations. But damn it’s hard and it hurts. But so necessary, that’s for the affirmation

Exactly what I needed today. I’m tired of healing too, but as another commenter said, it’s not a destination. Sometimes I forget that and feel discouraged. Thanks for the reminder about this wonderful healing opportunity called life.

This deeply resonates. I appreciate the shared experience of knowing I’m not the only one exhausted by the necessary healing required on this journey of life ✨

Wow wow wow. I quite literally was just thinking about how I need to take a break from therapy because I’m tired of doing the work right now..it’s just so much and seems never ending. And then I checked my email and saw a notification for this writing and my goodness. I needed to see this - not healing is not an option for me lol but I’m dog dirt tired.

I feel this in every inch of my soul...

It’s the throw-in-the-towel days where deep transformation happens ... yes yes. I felt all this so deeply, nodding from the top to the bottom. 13 years of consciously choosing to heal, it still holds surprises (the good ones and the hard ones) every single day. Much love to you x

Thank you for this...the healing process is an ongoing journey, and a necessary one. This is the needed reminder to keep going when I don’t want to or don’t feel like it.

A wonderful reminder that healing isn't a destination nor is it linear. Thank you Alex 🖤
