The Heart Remembers What the World Cannot Explain

 

Section 5: What I Learned About Myself

​

I learned that my capacity for love did not disappear.
I learned that sweetness, warmth, and soothing still live inside me, even after a lifetime of surviving.
I learned that connection—real connection—is not dependent on circumstance, longevity, or outcome.

 

I rediscovered that my gift is not perfection.
It is presence.

 

And presence is powerful, even in a doomed landscape.

I learned that I am strong enough to enter an impossible space,
strong enough to feel everything inside it,
and strong enough to walk out whole.

​

I learned that I do not have to betray myself to love.
And I do not have to lose myself to let go.
