This felt like getting slapped with silk—painful but classy. Love really knows how to f*ck you up. But damn, you made it sound almost worth it. Healing in style, I see. Now excuse me while I go romanticize my own breakdown.

I especially love this: “Peace isn’t something you find. It’s something you build.” We can’t walk around expecting things to change and to find peace if we don’t put in the work to create peace within our lives!

The shake before the peace is so painful but all worth it at the end.

I work with trauma clients and we talk about this cycle a lot. It's tough to break. Thank you for your writing. I'm sure it's hitting home with quite a few people.

Thank you for service. A lot of people just wanted someone to listen to them.

Yes, that’s hard to find. People aren’t so interested in really listening anymore, if they ever were. And my clients certainly don’t have anyone in their lives who listens.
