We carry around our past hurt and burdens like a blanket just because we can't remember what it is like not to have them around. We get so used to them being with us that we stop recognizing the harm it's truly causing to our souls. We may have even convinced ourselves that as long as we carry them around, we can't be hurt again. Well we have told ourselves a lie!
When we carry around our pain we don't have any arms left to carry around the joy. We have blocked ourselves from feeling any emotion since the space is taken up by pain. Two things cannot occupy the same space and it's the same way for our emotions. Pain is a feeling and it can't live on top of joy. It just does't work that way. We must finally release the hurt in order to live the life we were meant to live. It's time to give yourself permission to feel again, to be present again, to love again, to laugh again, and above all to fully live again.
