Getting on with your life and not reliving the heartache of what you were never given —after the healing work, grieving your losses, creating a nurturing inner parent— means you don't have to keep absorbing the pain.

No more sitting inside what didn't transpire, hedged in aloneness.

You don't have to do without anymore, inhabiting the outskirts of your existence, waiting for what never appeared.

You can treat yourself to kindnesses.

You can be nurtured by what inspires you.

You can show up for yourself and be open to authentic experiences.

You are here for it fully now, and can feed from the abundance of real intimacies. - Susan Frybort

The longing for things that you could not have. The yearning for palces you were not destined to arrive. Wishful memories of what was not ever meant to be. Regret for not being who you thought you would become. These hallucinations of the soul are agonizing prisoners that must be pardoned and released. Clear the room. Open the door and let them leave.
And in this space, you'll paint a glorious existence of being here with presence and contentment for what truly is a relevant and meaningful life. - Susna Frybort
