Healing is a process, even though forgiveness is a moment. We all need to heal from something. As African adults we face a lot of challenges , many of which are unspoken. We are never afforded the luxury of psychological help or even an effortless “ how are you” , therefore our healing is mandatory. Weather we have suffered from childhood, failed relationships, rejection from the professional aspect or friendships, family wars entrepreneurship or death , these are but the few hardships and challenges we face as an African adult in today age. We need to heal. I am of the believe that forgiveness can not take place until you have healed from that which brings you turmoil.
Young African adult get yourself to a place where you have healed from all the hurt, rejection, negativity, pain. Arrive at a place where you have your power, your joy, your peace and strength. The process takes time, from the time of the affliction to the point the physical and emotional pain to the time when you react to the pain , be it mentally , physically or verbally. No matter the hurt you eventually get to a place where all you can see are bruises than the scars. You arrive to the point when you look at it and say ‘I conquered “. You may be affected but not infected. That moment of power and strength where you see your scars and recognize the demons you battled and won.
I am proud of my scars as a young African lady , they define me , my strength, my ability and capability. Young African adult wear your scars like the warrior you are..The pain represents triumphs. The force within Is far greater than the mediocre force from external sources. True wisdom comes from the damage we battle and struggle with. Do not dwell in the poverty and the unhealthiness. Do not hold grudges, it torments your soul. We might never find the closure we seek, at times the best closure is to even the score. I believe in the power and emancipation of letting go. It clears the spirit being and refreshes the energy that be. You are always more jovial when the healing process has fully taken place, and never put yourself in a time and space where you can be burned twice by the same flame , you have the control. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME...
