Three of Swords…

Sometimes it’s impossible to let go of the hurt and pain you’ve been dealt and, that’s ok. Letting go isn’t always the answer. “Forgive and forget” sounds nice, but can be laborious and quite difficult. Anguish and distress can consume you, but eventually you have to find someway of managing it. Your determination to “weather that storm” becomes a testament to who you are. Sometimes the affliction you have faced changes who you are in surprising and uplifting ways. You grow stronger, more aware and more open to new possibilities. This is quite different than holding on to it…this means you have conquered it by accepting it and allowing it to transform you for the better. In this case, shouldn’t you honor that hurt? Make no apologies - wear it with pride.

“Pain makes you stronger. Tears make you braver and heartbreak makes you wiser.” - Many wise people
