Most People Don’t Want To

The truth is most people don’t want to

They don’t want to dig in themselves
And ask themselves why they are the way they are
And put in the effort into the inner work
And introspection
Dig in their childhood
And actually do the work

Most people think healing is self care, flowers and nice baths
But the truth is healing is destructive
It shapes you into a whole other being
You break patterns
You lose parts of yourself
And you are now in the process of becoming someone new
Someone you don’t really know
And that is terrifying

The hard conversations are needed with yourself
Sometimes with other people too
That is even more terrifying
Getting to know the darkest aspects of yourself
And everything about your life

It is hard to love yourself in the process of feeling your shame and guilt

Healing is hard,
Shadow work is harder
It is reckless
But it is significant
