Wholeness

All emotional pains are born of self-division
when a part of you desperately tailors a mask of perfection over the very wound you fear to face.
The remedy is not a magical epiphany or a hero descending to save you.
The cure is to rip the mask off yourself and voluntarily confront the terror beneath—again, and again, and again.
With every tremble, every ache, every teardrop,
you build a new bond with your shadow
and find safety in what once haunted you.

The dissolution of self-division and the unity of every part within —
is called
wholeness.
