The work is laborious... we sweat, we develop callouses, sometimes we bleed, sometimes we cry... but every movement done in the name of this work brings us closer to our true selves. Though it may seem so, you are not truly alone... you are just preparing for the arrival of your true friends.
So true that growth hurts....I am hoping that all of this will lead to something more rewarding for me. For now, it just painful. SO painful. Divorce, possible job loss, losing friends...all because I'm "growing" and standing up for myself. It leaves me feeling so lost. I am hopeful that one of these stages will bring some good into my life, instead of only getting rid of the bad.
