All in #bestrong

‘Maybe I cry for no reason, it’s the proof that my heart is in such state of weakness, that I can’t even help myself.

But not at all. It is quite is opposite. It’s your Heart fighting fiercely for its existence.’

 

- Yôko Ogawa, “Cristallisation Secrète”

BREATHE

 

You’re going to be Okay.

Breathe and remember that

You’ve been in this Place before.

You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you survived.

Breathe and know that you can survive this too.

 

These feelings can’t break you.

 

They’re painful, and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon. They are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience.

 

I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise.

 

IT WILL PASS.
