It’s hard. It’s wrenching. It’s incredibly painful and it’s difficult to feel lightness.
Or to see clearly.
Hanging by a thread can be really disorienting. What you’re going through undeniably sucks.
Listen to me: It’s going to be okay. You’re going to get through this. You can do it. Baby, you ARE doing it.
You’re getting through this. Right now your cells are plumping up and
your heart is beating and you have your breath. *In breath. Out
breath.* It’s really okay if you have to get that basic about getting
through it.
In breath, out breath. Sun’s gonna rise. It’s going to be okay.
Take encouragement from strangers. Like me. Go ahead. Take it. It’s
free and I don’t feel karmically entangled. So listen to me: It’s going
to be okay.
You’re probably feeling devastatingly alone, like an iceberg
drifting. No one can hear you cracking. It’s cold. But, just like an
iceberg, you have so much beneath the surface. Years of layers and
lifetimes of experience and strengths to call on — skills of expanding
consciousness that you didn’t even know you had. You will not sink.
People have been through what you’re going through right now. Thousands of them.
Really and truly. Your picture of heartbreak, your strain of pain is
part of the human fabric, and that tapestry is holding you like an
Eskimo blanket. Other people have survived this and when they got out of
the hole, they left a morphogenic popcorn trail out of the pain. You
can trace their steps.
It may be hard to believe right now, but not only will it be okay,
not only will you get through and over this, you will thrive again. You will be clear and vibrant and INCREDIBLE.
You will not only have more character to pull out at parties
and wisdom to offer the world, but you will feel more joy than you think
is possible right now.
You will.
You may walk with a limp. You may wince when you look back
(understandable) you may cry unexpectedly in the book store, but you’ll
be more alive, and more You. You will be strong. And you will feel a
curious sensation of being more useful. And it will feel really, really
fantastic.
What you’re going through right now is so difficult.
