Tides of Life

If you know me, you know I love the ocean. The sound of the waves speaks to my soul.

Like the ocean’s high and low tides, life is full of highs and lows. A few weeks ago, I was riding a high. Life was simply spectacular. I was surrounded by love, enjoying a life I had once dreamt of, starting a new venture with this blog, and happier than I had been in years. Then, by surprise I was knocked off my feet by a wave of betrayal by someone close to me and I plummeted to a low of lows.

The past several days have been filled with a sea of tears and waves of grief and self-judgement. Did this really just happen? How did I not see this coming? And so on.

While the emotional wound from this betrayal is going to take time to heal, the tides of the ocean remind me there will be another high. Until then, I will do my best to be kind & love myself, even on the tough days.

If you are also fighting to heal from an emotional wound, know I see you and am sending you lots of love.
