Healing HIM

I need you to know something:

You are not weak for feeling. You are not broken because you’ve struggled. You are not failing because you’re tired, overwhelmed, or unsure. Life handed you things you were never taught how to carry expectations, silence, pressure, and pain that you had to hold alone. You learned to stay strong when no one asked if you were strong. You learned to keep going even when it hurt. You learned to be dependable for everyone else, even when you had no place to lean.

You deserve support too. You deserve softness too. You deserve to exhale, to release, to sit down and say, “This is heavy,” and not be judged for it. There is strength in being honest about your pain. There is courage in asking for help. There is power in choosing to heal instead of continuing to carry what has been hurting you. You are allowed to grow. You are allowed to feel. You are allowed to change. You are allowed to learn yourself all over again.

You don’t have to be the man everyone expects. You only have to be the man you choose to become. One step. One breath. One truth at a time. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of love that feels safe. You are worthy of a life where you don’t have to hide your heart to protect it.

You don’t have to walk this alone anymore.

You’re here now and that is enough to begin.
