Danger is real. Heartache is real. Fear is not. It’s a story we tell ourselves. - Brianna Wiest

Arrive into the present. There is a saying that if you are anxious, it's because you are living in the future. And if you are depressed, it's because you are living in the past. When you are living in the present moment you realise that both the past and the are just current illusions in the infinite eternal now.

Sometimes, the greatest sign of growth is prioritizing rest and wellness, saying no, feeling more deeply, and expressing it more loudly. What can seem as though it is your unraveling is sometimes your rebalancing.

We all fear that our feelings are too big, especially in the moment we’re actually having them. We were taught not be too loving, we’d get hurt; too smart, we’d get bullied; too fearful, we’d be vulnerable. To be compliant with what other people wanted us to feel. As kids we were punished for crying out if our emotional experience wasn’t in accordance with our parents' convenience. (No wonder we still respond the way we do.)
