I know people who feel like they’ve wasted their lives because of poor choices. They’ve spent years in a relationship that was toxic, years with an addiction, years at a job that wasn’t fulfilling. But you have to realize nothing you have been through is ever wasted. Your past experiences - good and bad - have deposited something on the inside of you. Those challenges have sharpened you to help make you who you are today.

Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always.
