I understand.

I understand how the roller coaster of emotions can make you just want to turn them off. Flipping the proverbial switch, to just be numb. I understand how it can be enticing to move though life, never letting anyone close enough to hurt you. Never letting anyone use your secrets against you. I know what it’s like to feel that knot in your stomach, realizing you’ve shared too much. Unsure if you can trust anyone with the deepest parts of you because everybody leaves…

I understand how it feels to wake up and feel alone because for years you’ve never let anyone in. Never letting anyone close enough to know what makes your tears fall, or what makes you giggle out of nowhere. Being so afraid of being left, or feeling that ache again, that somehow when you need someone most, there’s no one there.

I understand what it’s like to be so excited for new friendships and relationships but always leaving one foot on the ground. Only letting people know you from the time they met you, but somehow still wanting them to be proud of how far you’ve come.

I want to tell you…

There is strength in learning how to yield your emotions. Strength in knowing that you are so strong, no one has taken away your power to feel so deeply. The easy way out is turning them off. Giving up how deeply you can feel the good, the great, and the unexpected. There is power in homing in on your intuition, trusting when you are safe, and feeling everything that comes with release.

You are more than what you’ve been through, you have so much to experience. Give yourself the power to laugh from the depths of your stomach, sing with your full diaphragm, dance like no one’s watching, and cry from the deepest parts of your soul.

If you let what you’ve been through, what hurt you, who hurt you, or what you are afraid of make you turn off what makes life worth living, they won. Stay powerful.
