Sometimes, in life

Sometimes in life,
What you lose
Is what you gain.

You lose the doubt
So you can find belief.

You shed tears
So you can find hope.

You release fear
So you can find courage.

You let go of the pain
So you can find healing.

You break free from the chains
So you can find liberation.

You cast away darkness
So you can find light.

You relinquish the ego
So you can find humility.

You let go of pride
So you can find authenticity.

You lose the old version of yourself
So you can find renewal.

You leave the past behind
So you can step into the future.

You drown out the noise
So you can find your inner voice.

You unravel complexity
So you can find simplicity.

You lose the judgment
So you can find empathy.

And you lose self-criticism
So you can find self-compassion.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
