When Life Asks You to Stop Running
What if everything you've been told about healing is backwards? What if your sadness, anxiety, and self-doubt aren't problems to solve but messengers asking to be heard? Most of us spend our lives in a frantic chase-running from discomfort, grasping at happiness, trying desperately to fix what we think is broken. We download meditation apps, read self-help books, and promise ourselves that once we're finally "better," life will begin. But here's the uncomfortable truth: you're not broken. You never were. This radical shift in perspective lies at the heart of a quieter revolution in how we approach suffering. Instead of treating our pain like an enemy to defeat, what happens when we welcome it as a teacher? When you stop trying to heal yourself and start holding yourself instead, something extraordinary unfolds. Your imperfections stop being obstacles and become doorways. Your struggles stop being signs of failure and become proof you're fully alive. We live in a culture obsessed with perfection. Scroll through social media for five minutes and you'll see carefully curated lives-flawless bodies, perfect relationships, enviable careers. But here's what nobody tells you: everyone is faking it. Behind every polished image is someone who feels like they don't quite fit, who worries they're not enough, who fears being discovered as an imposter.
