You wrote "You must trade your old life to start your new one." So true! I just had that same thought!

beautiful as always 🫶 definitely called me out! healing will not work unless the person truly wants to be healed.

the way this is so true; I feel like the concept of faking till u make it has transcended to Gen z healing methods (I'm saying this as a Gen z myself) in hopes that if u look like u are healing maybe you will really and truly heal

faking ‘til you make it is more applicable to confidence, but healing isn’t something you can fake. what’s within will always show, no matter what you look like. thank you for reading, shreya!

“Healing has a brand, an image.”

Almost as if looking healed on the outside will make it happen faster on the inside 🙈
