We build walls around ourselves

around our hearts
around our souls
around our lives

Attempting to keep ourselves from feeling

discomfort
sadness
pain
VULNERABILITY

Those same walls will also dull

our joy
our happiness
our connections
our ability to truly live our lives

They keep us from going deep

They keep us from fully feeling anything and everything

They keep us on the surface of life

THE SURFACE…

Is a place where we merely exist

It’s a place full of

Small talk
Small hearts
Small lives

LIVING A FULL, WHOLE, HEALED, LIFE

doesn’t happen on the surface

You must be willing to dive deeper

Allow yourself to be cracked wide open

Bulldoze through the walls
Or
Take them down Brick by Brick

It takes COURAGE
to give yourself PERMISSION
to FEEL every emotion

Be Brave!

Life goes by in a blink of an eye

Don’t settle for a life half lived
