There are these moments during particular days where I have to be incredibly truthful with myself about what I am going through and feeling.
I know when it is about to occur because I get this wave of energy from the base of my neck down to my back and I feel my mood start to change. I once was frightened of it, the sensation of water about dripping down my back, but in time I've learned how to get used to it.
These moments of honesty are followed by a settling of thought, emotion, and almost a numbness that comes with it all.
Sometimes we are going through life not realising that there are things under the surface that we don't see. We think that we have totally healed or have moved on, but in reality there are still pieces to the puzzle that must be put together.
There's an amazing balance between moving forward and making the effort, whatever the situation might be and starting to understand what is going on within. I think much of the time when someone is hurt and people recognize it they attempt to tell that person to pick themselves up as fast as possible and forget the past. This information, while trying to be helpful, isn't really realistic - because the same person who gave that advice, in a similar scenario, couldn't possibly take it.
Don't attempt to manipulate or block out your thoughts and emotions. Let them flow through you. Learn from them. Understand them. Feel them. Then, when you have spent enough time with them, move forward. Move forward into who you can be right now. Sometimes it's incredibly tough to handle those thoughts and emotions but you have to be willing to battle through it.
Have a very honest moment with yourself.
Don't run. Don't hide. Face everything in life head on with the courage, love, and passion it takes to really make a difference in this world. Life has a very interesting way of sending you exactly what you need to experience to help you grow. If you accept these challenges you may receive the greatest rewards of all. Know that there is a plan for you.
When those moments are over, that's when you can move forward. But make sure you don't attempt to change everything while you are in it. Something is trying to talk to you. Open yourself to emotions and let them talk reason into your heart.
