Sometimes we need to work on things in our life. Sometimes those things are emotional and life-changing. Sometimes we would rather run and hide from them. Sometimes the fear of facing those feelings and the person(s) involved is too overwhelming. What do we do?
Sometimes we remain silent and endure what is bothering us, allowing it to bottle up and build pressure until we cannot take it anymore. Sometimes we choose to run and hide. But where does hiding get us? At most, we are afforded a brief reprieve from the stress. What is stressful does not go away by our attempts at hiding from it.
Eventually, we need to face it. This is how we grow as human beings. If we continue to hide, the stress, that actually is not where we thought we left it but is actually buried deep within our hearts. Eventually, we become old by it. We become old in our hearts and in our souls. Life just seems to pass by and the joy we once felt in life is that much more diminished.
It is time to grow. It is time to face what we have run from. It is time to be better and to be stronger than we ever were before.
You are NOT alone!
