Sarah Lian Instagram – Your capacity to feel love is equal to your capacity to feel pain. Sometimes, we avoid love because we still carry old pain. For so long, I tried to push the pain away and quickly move from one situation to another. But eventually, it caught up with me, and I had to confront it.
I cried for hours and hours, for days and days. I hadn’t realized how much was buried inside or how deeply I had blocked myself from truly feeling.
I didn’t realize how often I chose from my wounds, how often I let my ego guide me. The only way to break this perpetual cycle was to start loving myself. I needed to embrace the parts of myself I wanted to hide. I needed to stop taking things personally and show up for myself. I needed to love myself enough so that, when the time comes, light can enter, and I too can receive love.
I have been receiving many well wishes from those close to me and from those who have watched my story from afar. It has been a profound journey, and I feel incredibly blessed to have been witnessed by everyone here. Your support means the world to me, and it reminds me that love is always within reach, even in the darkest times. | Posted on 02/Jul/2024 14:15:25
