You can’t will yourself into being happy. (Trust me, I’ve tried.) 😨
Like how water always flows once you remove the rocks that block the river, real happiness emerges within you when you remember who you are and who you are not.
You are not your thoughts. Not the voice inside your head that says “Her life is more interesting than me.” when you check your friend’s Instagram feed.
Not when it tells you “I’m a failure.” after what you want badly didn’t happen. Or when it says: “This is all my fault” when he leaves you.
You are not your emotions. Not the heat you feel in your chest. The sunkenness in your stomach, or the ache in your bones. Dreadness, sadness, even madness, cannot define you.
You are not your childhood, your heartbreak, your trauma, or your illness.
You are the observer of these experiences. You hold them. The same way the ocean holds the waves, the forest holds the tree, the sky holds passing clouds.
Yes, you are that big. And how wonderful it is to get to experience so much! 🙏
