Let The Light In.
Are you a stubborn tinted window like me? Why are you so reluctant to open? The only way to let the light in is for someone to chunk a brick through it right? Well that is what I like to call brokenness. We all must be beautifully broken, not to destroy us, but to allow the cracks to let in the healing. Sometimes brokenness feels like straight darkness. It hurts. We feel shattered. We feel unrepairable. It’s like uhhh...light where, healing where? Doesn’t feel too good does it? But neither does stagnancy.
We all wish we can walk by that bookshelf of brokenness and never do a u-turn. But what if we can’t? What if we were never broken? Would we have learned all that we have? Would we have grown as much? Would we even have advice for other people feeling broken?
I won’t put too much pressure on yall. I guess I can speak for myself. I’m super thankful for being broken. Stubborn is an understatement when used to describe me. Blame it on being a Taurus, I don’t know, I just know pride is something that has always been hard for me to grow through. The Universe did me a favor and kicked me off my high horse for me. I lost everything. Well at the time, what I thought was everything. But that low point in my life made me cry out. Cry loud. Louder than I ever have. Something I hate doing by the way. But because I cried, I started to release. Once I released, I started to reflect. Once I reflected, now I’m starting to see things I’ve never seen about myself. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can be bitter and complain everyday about how sucky this season of my life is. Or…I can shut the hell up and just be okay with it. Once I say “Okay, Universe I hear you”, I can now heal. I can now grow. I can put my pride down and stop pointing the finger to everybody.
It’s me. My brokenness has taught me, it’s always been me.
You are not broken forever. This is not forever. The light just needed a pathway to your soul. Your cracks were the only way. You didn’t truly want to grow. Breaking you was the only way.
So for the stubborn windows like me, release. Open up or the Universe will chunk a brick and do it for you.
