Healing versus numbing

Written by Emily Lauren Green

watch my new video I uploaded to the homepage of this site. This is me opening up to let people know they are not alone. A lot of people in this life settle. Lead by example. This is to let people know that they are not defined by their failures nor are they defined by their greatest accomplishments. Everything you do in between matters. Your life matters. Find a deeper meaning in things you don't understand, and let every little experience along the way build you. Being uncomfortable will make you stronger if you let it. Trust the process. When you numb trauma long enough, you will keep hitting the same wall. Heal it instead. Break that wall down and dig deep. You are your habits. You are the people you hang out with. If you want to feel better, than choose better. Lean on friends, but only the real ones. 2022 is about putting a halt to numbing your trauma. Confront it. Choose to not be the victim. Forgive others. Forgive yourself. Be okay with being alone, even if it's hard at first. This will prepare you to love whoever is meant for you, in the most healthy way possible. Only surround yourself with people that align with the type of person you want to be. This video is personal, but take it from me. You can love hard but you need to heal first. Give yourself time. That's when you find yourself and find your purpose. That's when you can look at your people and love them selflessly and consistently. When it feels like there is no way you can stand strong on your own, watch this video for a little pep talk.
