life is one big paradox. to heal, you have to hurt. to have peace, you have to experience chaos. to love, you must be vulnerable. it all brings you balance.

[katharinableinis]

Dear 2023,

Thank you for teaching me the importance of balance – cherishing solitude without feeling lonely, and seeking company without losing myself.

[katharinableinis]

[katharinableinis]

I am so grateful you exist.

[katharinableinis]

It’s a privilege to know you.

It’s a privilege to love you.

It’s a privilege to experience your energy.

Caring deeply is cool. Being kind is cool. Wearing your heart on your sleeve is cool. Being sensitive is cool. Valuing inclusivity is cool. Speaking up for the voiceless is cool. Feeling intensely is cool. Being empathetically tuned in is cool. Having a big heart is cool. Being yourself is cool.

[katharinableinis]

Be the reason someone feels safe, seen, and supported.

[katharinableinis]

Let go of the illusion that some situations should have turned out any other way. Acceptance is peace.

“Growth is painful. Change is painful.But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”

— Mandy Hale

When your heart breaks, it doesn't mean that your heart is damaged. The pain indicates that your heart is working and opening.

If you repeatedly dull your sensitivity, distract yourself, and repress your feelings without meeting and digesting the pain, then yes you will internalize the trauma as a wound.

But if we can be vulnerable with the process despite our squeamishness, we will become more loving and wise humans as a result of our heartbreak.

We will have allowed our hearts to break open.

[katharinableinis]

Remember the emphasis on the heart. The mind lives in doubt and the heart lives in trust. When you trust, suddenly you become centered.

I admire people who can share their vulnerability. It shows that they’re emotionally strong and eager to grow. Many people think that vulnerability is a sign of weakness, but in truth, it’s a sign of strength and resilience.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Trying to run away is never the answer to being a fully human. Running away from the immediacy of our experience is like preferring death to life.
