I've been reading this book titled, 'Letters to Sam: A Grandfather's Lessons on Love, Loss and the Gifts of Life' by Daniel Gottlieb thanks to a friend of mine who was kind enough to lend this book to me for a while.
It's a fast read. And I'm halfway into the book already! And I just wanted to share this quote with all of you mainly because one day you'll need it. And when that day comes, this quote will be here for you, just like it did for me right now, especially when I'm going through a few problems at the moment.

"Emotional wounds are the same. sometimes these wounds do not heal because the mind gets all involved and says things like, "I should do this and I'll feel better," or "Maybe I could do that to repair the damage," or "I am hurting because of what another person did, and once they fix it, I will feel better."P.s There's so many other good quotes, but let's leave that.. till next time. ;)
All of this mind talk just interferes with the natural healing process. when you feel deeply hurt, you have everything you need in yourself to repair the damage. You want compassion, understanding, and nurturing in order to heal. But most of all, you need time.
When I am in a dark tunnel, I want to be with people who love me enough to sit in the darkness with me and not stand outside telling me how to get out. I think that's what we all want.
When you are hurt, be close to people who love you and who can tolerate your pain without passing judgement or giving you advice. As time passes, you will long less for what you had yesterday and experience more of what you have today."
