You Cannot Heal In The Same Environment That Made You Sick
Your wounds will never heal if they’re not given the space to breathe and regenerate.
You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick. I have no idea who the author of this quote is, but this is some of the best advice you’ll ever get.
How many of us spend months, or even years, trying to find peace in the midst of chaos? How many of us blame ourselves for not being as strong, as brave, as secure, as unbreakable as we wanted to be?
We do our best to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but what if we’ve been seeing that light for so long that we can’t even find the strength to find it anymore? What if we keep licking our wounds every single day, yet the bleeding never stops?
Here’s what I’ve learned: the bleeding will never stop if the person who first created the wounds is still in your daily life — and your wounds will never heal if they’re not given the space to breathe and regenerate.
It’s not your fault. Not being able to heal doesn’t mean you’re weak or incapacitated, and it certainly doesn't mean there’s something fundamentally wrong with you. It just means you’re in the wrong place, surrounded by the wrong people.
