The scars will fade, but the lessons will remain...
The entire decade of my 20’s I developed a MAJOR case of adult acne 😫
I was mortified.
Embarrassed.
Sad.
I felt deep pain physically and emotionally.
And I struggled to find answers and solutions. If there was a face product that promised a solution, I bought it. If there was a nutrition “secret” I tried it. Meditation, medication, detoxes, fasts, juicing, exercise, stop exercising, yoga, prayer, peels and other harsh treatments you name it I tried it..except accutane, never tried that because I didn’t want to disturb my fertility.
Things would work temporarily or a little, but not last.
What my body needed was my patience.
For me to breathe deeply.
For me to be gentle and kind.
And to keep going.
With patience and kindness towards myself I gave my body a better place to heal. It’s not the answer my younger firey self wanted, but I finally submitted.
My scars have definitely faded, but are still there to remind me to be gentle with my body and kind and loving to myself and to have patience with the process of the lessons in life I still need to learn. I’m still a work in process 😉
What battles have you conquered to get you where you are today?
