Choose the path of Healing

This year has been so had for me I lost some of my close people and my beloved Nani  who recently passed away. Lying in bed one night, unable to sleep, I asked myself : If there was a magic pill that could erase my grief, would I take it ? 

The answer that came to my mind was No. Because, to erase the grief would be to erase my ongoing love for them. Then I realized that the best way to deal with emotional pain is to let yourself feel it. If you’re holding it in, it hurts. If you let it go, you feel much better because time heals everything they say. 

Someone recently asked my - How are you so positive even after all this? How did you deal with it? Such a positive girl you are, what does it take to be one? 

Well.. No... I'm not positive all the time, I've my low points, my own problems, my own share of pain, sadness, some days I feel weak and there are days when I'm unable to handle the pain,  it's just that I choose not to show it. Life is same for each one of us but how we live it becomes our style, I choose patience, healing and positivity. I continue doing what I love to do, this is my way to deal with my problems and sorrow, to be positive I need to go through the darkest night and come back stronger, I can't sit and wait for the magic to happen, I can't sit and cry a river.

The strongest girl you see today was the broken  girl you met yesterday, his is what it takes to be one. We evolve, we grow, we bloom and it's okay to be sad and broken but we decide to not stay broken. 

We all have a story where we were so broken that hardly we understood that something like strength exists, something like healing exist but with time we saw that if we believe in magic, magic happens, if we believe in healing it heals, if we believe in the power inside us then we become brave enough to fight back and to handle each situation.  

Maybe today you are broken but that's how we learn to heal, we learn to be strong, we learn to be on our own.
