Healing is not a race.
There is no finish line you need to cross quickly.
There is no deadline for feeling okay again.
Some wounds take time to understand,
not just time to close.
You might feel fine one day
and heavy the next.
That doesn’t mean you’re moving backward.
It means you’re human.
Healing happens in layers.
Each layer teaches you something about yourself.
Each step brings you closer to balance.
You’re allowed to take breaks.
You’re allowed to feel tired.
You’re allowed to move at a pace that feels safe.
Rushing healing only creates more pressure.
Patience allows real recovery.
Trust the process you’re in.
Even slow healing is still healing.
Be kind to yourself along the way.
You’re doing the best you can—and that’s enough.
