They said it would get easier. The truth is, it won't. Not if we don't allow it. Sometimes we cling to pain. To remain true to our instant reaction of the news. To remain true to those that we've lost. To remain true to the suffering.
We have permission to let go. We have permission to hold on. We have permission to not be defined by our pleasure or our pain. We have permission to be human. We have permission to be holy.
