why we return.

anyone else ever find themselves being drawn to go back to places that have some weight attached to them? whether that means it’s associated with a loss, some trauma, or just some big shifts in life surrounding this specific place or location?⠀

⠀ i feel like there can be something really meaningful found in the returning and observing how we feel differently, the same, nothing, or maybe a lot. just in that it’s sort of a way to feel out growth and healing in a way that may feel more difficult to assess in the day to day.⠀ ⠀ grateful for some time spent doing just that this past weekend in holding a little of this discomfort, observing and processing. ⠀

⠀ then from the wise words of yung pueblo:⠀ ⠀

when we disconnect ⠀

from our pain⠀

we stop growing⠀

when we are dominated by our pain

we stop growing freedom is observing our pain

letting it go⠀

and moving forward⠀

(middle path).⠀

here’s to continually giving ourselves some time and space + the grace necessary to continue releasing things that feel—or once felt—heavy to us.
