LET’S TALK ABOUT “HEALING” TODAY!!

 

Before and After everything else, Healing comes first.

You heal before you take a new step, and you heal after you meet the chaos and catastrophe.

Healing is a deeply personal journey.
Realistically, there’s nothing like a one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
If your path looks different from others, don’t be disheartened; embrace your own journey and trust that it’s leading you exactly where you need to be.
No one knows how much you’ve been through, the paths and routes you’ve been to or you’ve had to take.

I read something that said; “May the quality of people you attract be a reflection
of the healing and hard work you’ve put into yourself over time.”
No matter how much you wish you could, there’s no way you can control how
another person feels or thinks about you.
That’s why it is important to surround yourself with people who are committed to understand
who you truly are.
The kind of people that are soft and gentle with your heart and soul,
the ones who will let you be yourself and make you smile with their presence,
those who are warm and make you feel safe and understood.

Be in a constant state; allow things to come and go. Detach yourself from stories that say you aren’t whole. You can’t heal when you don’t remove yourself from what’s causing you pain.
Healing isn’t about arriving at a place where everything is rosy but learning to develop the ability to respond and plant your own garden of roses.

Therapy with blossom wrote; “Sorrow is a teacher.
without periods of lowness, we may never question our
circumstances or make necessary adjustments.
We may lack deeper empathy.
We may never truly appreciate the highs, either.  But most importantly, we must HEAL.”

Build the power of your discernment; honour and protect it.
Give yourself grace and put it to heart that;
“Nothing about your healing journey is wrong.”
Take your time, choose to move slowly; one small shift at a time and you will get there.

As you heal, as you search for peace in the midst of chaos know that; “you may never get back
to the person you were before it all happened. The trauma, the abuse, the assault, the discrimination, the stigma, the depression, your rights being violated, the segregation, the pain and the hurt but let go of it all, you are someone who has survived a storm. HEAL!!!

    Healing is not easy but it has to be done and the first step as you have mentioned is letting Go

AWAKENING: STORIES UNTOLD, STORIES UNHEARD AND STORIES UNREAD

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember all the words you like to say behind closed doors. She whispered in my ear “I take you as you are and you will be. I won’t try to change you but I will ride out change with you. I see you and I will never ask you to be less or more.” With words so charming and full of meaning, that’s how she destroyed me. I have been awed and terrified by the experience of being in love to the extent that when it’s love, I’d rather close the book and put it back on the shelf. I do not know how to hate no matter how much I have been wronged. I met Tuseke when I had gone for my usual check-up at the hospital. She was there to visit her grandmother who was gravely ill and on admission. She had asked for directions to get to the elderly female ward, that was just the same way to Doctor Mayepi’s office. My all time go to health practitioner. We walked hand in hand and talked about a few things on science and medicine. She hated being around the hosp...

LOVE LETTER TO TOBI

  Tobi; You are the chapter that I didn’t know it’s words. No matter what takes place, my heart will always choose you. Like a bedtime story book, I will open my chest and read to you all my love. I said; “I want to relearn love in a beautiful way.” and I knew the universe remembered me the day that I met you. You have given oxygen to the parts of me that were suffocated, energy to my broken bones. Your name belongs at the tip of my tongue, I want to speak of you and with you all day long cause there’s a certain kind of magic in your name. I want to wrap my entire body around yours. I want the love that ravishes and envelops me. My hands long to hold you, to lace my fingers all over your lips, to feel the whole of you on my skin, to breath your scent and fill my lungs with your precious cologne.   Kegi….

LETTER TO KAMBANI

  Dearest Kambani, I write this note to you for there is an ache in my ribs. Your sugar-coated deceit made its way through and I felt like all the air left my lungs after I heard and read out all your lies. You said; “I will answer you before you even call to me.” Little did I know you were trying to memorize Jeremiah 33:3 on me. You said; “I will be your peace.” But; Don’t be my peace. I already have that. First, be at peace with yourself and everything around you. I know this note will make you remember the warmth of my touch, how it made your heart race, the joy you claimed I brought to you. I had mixed portions of happiness and loyalty between the things I love and you with a pinch of sugar to align the moments. That’s how much I cared. I am blooming in your absence after being trapped in the cage of your lies and deceit, after you sliced me a dose of pain and moments of tears. Leaving you came hand in hand with finding myself – Broken but Function...

CHAPTER 28

The truth failed to set me free. I do not know how to speak the truth without it sounding like an apology, But I am learning to share the room with peace. You said these broken pieces won't fit together, But I have out grown those words and will shrink to fit, For courage has greeted me. Drop me here and leave me be, This is just a chapter not my whole story....

CASTING MY BURDENS

I used to be a person who responded immediately, double-texted and went above and beyond to keep in touch. A year down the line, I have become quieter, I no longer text anyone unless it's work or urgent personal matters or family and no one texts me either. I am prioritizing my mental health. Whenever I feel the stir of overstimulation, I retreat, I breathe, I pray. I have changed so much in a year. Life have shaped me in some areas and renewed me entirely in others. But, I hate that I still care. It's frustrating to still have feelings for people who no longer are a part of your life. The idea of them being with someone else makes you break down randomly - it upsets your stomach. I have been struggling to adjust to all these changes - my mind have been cluttered with so many thoughts - my emotions felt so much to bear - I could hardly catch my breath. I learnt to cast my burdens in exchange for rest, to worry less about things that didn't trouble my yesterday - navigating...
