Betrayal is just a word: when you're curious about it, it's a life- altering disease.

Betrayal feels like being thrown into fire—burned without the chance to scream.

The one who betrays, whether an adult betraying a child, a spouse betraying their partner, or a friend breaking trust, rarely understands the depth of the pain caused.

This pain is not just hurt; it’s a felt sense in the body, an invisible injury that can linger long after the surface appears to heal.

Betrayal doesn’t just break trust—it leaves a wound that may not bleed but threatens to shape the rest of one’s life.

Betrayal is more than a word. It’s a life-altering blow.

It's an accident no one wanted, yet it happens all the same.

The healing may begin, but the internal damage—left untreated or unacknowledged—can last a lifetime.

You can scream, you don’t know if you’re being heard.

You can jump-up, you don’t know if you’re being seen.

You can cry, you don’t know if you’re being saved.

Are you healing or torturing yourself?

It isn’t that people only resist change.

It isn’t that people around us don’t want to indulge into self- care/self-love and healing.

Don’t let anyone fool you that healing is a choice. It is a tough and a hard choice.

Healing is a journey, not a destination.

Healing is you taking multiple paths - meeting your demons on this journey, hiding from pain, holding your anger, witnessing yourself hit bottom low and hoping to rise back, it doesn’t stop here.

Healing means you take breaks, make mistakes and get back to starting point again, learning more, unlearning what you know so far, fight with others and fight with yourself for what you see hurts.

People don’t resist change, healing or working for their betterment.

We all get scared with the kind of commitment healing demands and sometimes, we take breaks.

Healing is a journey to travel many paths and find the path that leads you to the next one.

We all want to be better versions of ourselves, some for ourselves and some for others; healing is effort.

A tiring; meaningful effort!

Healing is a difficult choice

Adulting - Journey or Destination?

Is adulting about the journey, or is it about the destination of this journey?

Is it a journey without a well-crafted mental destination?

It’s a path with many directions, and the journey becomes about choosing which direction to step onto. Different directions lead to different outcomes: liked/disliked, desired/undesired.

Adulting comes with choices to make and decisions to ponder. For every choice that is opted for, a part of oneself awakens. This part comes with questions, statements, and beliefs—some harsh, a few real, and many unwanted.

It’s this vulnerable part, so scared of and for us, that needs love, care, and compassion. Positive remarks make us feel confident. But for all the criticism this part carries, we belittle ourselves.

Adulting is about finding a voice for this part—a part shaped by stories and narratives from parents, caregivers, teachers, morals, and society, but not necessarily from ourselves.

Love this part inside of you, conditioned to carry shame.

Lessen your burden by holding some of the baggage from this part. Notice how adulting doesn’t become a destined journey, but rather a way to love yourself in any direction.

It’s definitely not about the destination.

The journey becomes so meaningful when there’s no definite place to be.
