✨"In the same way that when you're in love and you want to spend time with only that person, try spending time on yourself. You deserve your care and attention. Treat yourself to a delicious meal, a good book, or a nice walk with a lovely view. Just as you would invest in the person you love, you should invest in yourself." ✨
It all felt like a blur now. All I knew was that all of a sudden, I was in the dark. Pitch black. I was dumped into this dark, cold place. I didn't have a sense of direction, of where I was. I was scared and confused. It's as if all of the heavy emotions have been funneled into my chest, that's why it was feeling extra heavy. That phone call and this book served as the first light that I saw in that darkness, as if someone casted the Lumos spell. I walked towards this light, and that started my journey towards getting out of that dark place, back into the light.
I owe a lot from that friend, and from this book. It turned out that this was the perfect book for me to read during that time. As I highlighted words and paragraphs that resonated with me, I saw more lights being lit up, and soon enough, discovered a path for me to walk on through as I started that journey of healing.
✨"Shout out loud to your struggling self -- I love you so much." ✨
✨"We are worthy of being loved not because of what we do well, but because we are precious living beings."✨
✨"But if you hold on to the memory of it, you may let new opportunities and experiences pass you by. With a new heart, focus on the present, not the past." ✨
✨"Your life is difficult not because the past is holding you back, but because you keep thinking about the past and lingering there. Rather than haggling with your past, let it be so that it can flow like a river. Your true self is not the river of memory, but the one who stands beside the river, quietly observing its flow." ✨
✨"You try hard to obtain God's love only to realize that there has never been a single moment when God has not loved you." ✨
✨"Letting go is actually another way of expressing acceptance fully." ✨
I am so happy, so blessed, and so grateful to God for allowing me to have this moment with my friend, allowing me to realize that despite all the pain, something beautiful came out of it. I am so happy and blessed to have a friend like her, and I will treasure this friendship that we have.
