Our hearts are such miraculous things. Fueling our bodies in an a cycle that doesn’t end until we leave this life. We derive strength from this fist sized organ that sustains us in an ever present beat.

Yet, we fail it.

We fail the piece that gives us life.

Giving out pieces until it’s broken and battered. How terribly we treat it and value it so little.

Understand your heart must continue to beat while it heals. It’s excruciating. There’s no anguish like it on this earth. Time has told me it is too much too soon.

Know you are beautiful.

Know you are worthy.

Know your heart must rest while it still works.

Allow it to heal.

Treat it with the care that it’s so exhaustingly earned.
