Be gentle with yourself

Healing takes time... be gentle with yourself.

They say you don't realize what you have until its gone. It's true to some extent but the contrary is true as well. You don't realize what you've gained unless you look back and reflect. 

Every experience, every disappoint, every hurdle is contributing towards our growth. Sometimes it seems like with every step forward you are getting buried deeper into the darkness and then time passes, you look back and boom.... there was a sprout somewhere along the way and you feel a bloom inside of you.

Have patience, with yourself, with universe, with process.
Don't give up.
Continue baby steps even if it seems waves are pushing you backwards
Things take time
Have faith
Give it a chance
Its not the end as long as you live
And then, it continues in the next life form...
