“We all have the capacity to be the heroes of our own story.” In the real world, we can get lost, stressed or overwhelmed when our lives become confusing or when we face a difficulties. It may be that we are just getting in our own way, that we need room to sort through issues and gain new skills, or that a significant mental illness keeps us from living the life we want.
We can be helped through our time of pain, frustration, or weakness, until we can become strong, learn to heal ourselves, nurture each other, and access our inner wisdom. Penning poetry, journaling or writing in general helped me! It can help you too!
