*No one really prepares you for how difficult it is to let good things in after you've been hurt. When your mind has spent so long in survival mode, joy can feel unfamiliar — almost suspicious. But blessings do exist. There are people out there who are kind, who won’t make you question your worth. A softer life is possible, even if your nervous system needs time to believe it. You don’t have to force anything — just stay open. Keep choosing to heal. And when the good starts to show up, let yourself receive it. Let yourself trust that you deserve peace, too*🩵 > Flowers Maruva 📍
