Keep seeing the beauty through the pain

Healing the wounds of your past may help you move on to a brighter future, but you also need a vision of a better future to ease you into it.

It is increasingly common to read on Instagram and even with people you interact with that they are healing from previous adversity, but they have no response when you ask them what they are looking forward to.

Yes, healing is not linear, but it is also more challenging when you don’t see the future.

Healing the wounds of your past may help you move on to a brighter future, but you also need a vision of a better future to ease you into it.

This is where personal growth, or more specifically, what I give online under the label “better perspectives,” comes into play.

Personal growth, when adequately studied, does not invalidate your experience or pressure you to toughen up; instead, it opens your eyes to a better future, one that, if strived for, may be yours after your healing period.

When you’re in a bad mood, one thing that might help you recover is to imagine a brighter future beyond the suffering. This is the secret that resides in religious people.

And…., listen carefully to Imagine Dragons’ Believe.

I was broken from a young age

Taking my sulking to the masses

Writing my poems for the few

That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me

Singing from heartache from the pain

Taking my message from the veins

Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty through the...Pain!
