A healer is someone who seeks to be the light that she wishes she had in her darkest moments.

Peace is not the absence of pain, but the welcoming of pain as a teacher.

My thoughts are just patterns.They don't mean to give me grief.I've got to be mindful,Question these old beliefs,Step into my power,Find the strength I need to heal.I will not cower.I will grow through what I feel.

Only when we face the impossible, and experience the unbearable, do we find out who we truly are.

Perhaps the most liberating moment in my life was when I realized that my self-loathing was not a product of my inadequacy but, rather, a product of my thoughts.

Sometimes, to love people, I must completely avoid them. Sometimes, to be strong, I must completely fall apart. Sometimes, to create, I must completely destroy.

When we stop looking for someone to complete us... We find completion in ourselves.

Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal.

Temporary, but excruciating, pain is the price of healing.
