I’m scared to face my feelings: a journey of healing

Today the silence is a bit heavier,
but I still sit with it.
Cross legged and disassociating,
As I hold it's pinky with mine.
And I'm scared to make eye contact,
Because I know what I'd find.
A warped vision of all the things I try to hide,
A broken little girl staring back at me.

what do you usually do in those moments when it feels like you’re face to face with that version of yourself?

A lot of times I don't know how to deal with it, but simply acknowledging that version is a big step for me

i used to sit in that same quiet, almost holding hands with it like if i stayed still enough it wouldn’t swallow me whole, and seeing that version of myself looking back was the part that scared me the most

Today, I feel the exact same. Almost lost even, but I sit with it too. The tears run down my face every now and again, and I let them. Because the only way to get over this is to go through it. But damn, today it's extra heavy to carry.

Yep...I've gone through soo many different emotions and it's getting tiring but healing will be worth it because I'll come out stronger and wiser
