authenticity is not being the same person over and over again; it is allowing yourself to change as you navigate life - Yung Pueblo

Healing does not erase the past, and the point of healing is not to forget what has happened. Old memories from hard moments may come up even after deep healing has taken place, but what shifts is how we react to them when they arise. If the intensity of the reaction is decreasing, then real progress is being made.

the goal is not to heal
and then begin your life
the goal is to embrace healing
as a life long journey and allow
genuine connections
to emerge organically
along the way.

how can we have a real conversation if every time we speak i can see in your eyes that my words are not reaching you? they stop at a narrative you have created about me based on who i was many years ago.
