Many people believe healing means erasing pain.
But true healing is not about forgetting.
It is about integration.
You learn from the past without reliving it.
You remember without reopening the wound.
Healing allows you to move forward without dragging old pain into new situations.
The past shaped you, but it does not define you.
When you stop fighting your memories, they lose power.
Healing is not weakness.
It is strength refined by experience.
