Healing Is Not Linear, It’s a Labyrinth

Some days you will feel whole.
Other days you will forget your own name.

Healing doesn’t look like a sunrise.
It looks like rain, a relapse, a memory you thought you’d buried.
It looks like laughing mid-tear and calling that progress.

We were taught that healing means forgetting.
But real healing?
It means remembering without falling apart.

It means not needing to forgive everyone who broke you — just choosing not to carry them anymore.

So if you’re circling the same emotion again,
if you’re tired of your own story —
know that this too is part of the path.

Even the most beautiful flowers grow in spirals.
