Inward (The Inward Trilogy)

by Yung Pueblo

i was addicted to filling a void within myself with things other than my own love

three things make life harder: not loving yourself refusing to grow not letting go

it is not love if all they want from you is to fulfill their expectations one of my greatest mistakes was believing that another person could hold together all the pieces of me make sure the walls you build to protect yourself do not become a prison

healing work creates space for the release of what we felt long ago

honor the anger; give pain the space it needs to breathe this is how we let go

reminder: when the body is tired the mind will often create worries to focus on

ask yourself often: am i observing the situation accurately or am i projecting how i feel onto what is happening?

healing yourself can be messy

it is hard work to open yourself up to release your burdens

if you measure the length of your ego, it will equal the distance between you and your freedom if you are far away from yourself, how could you ever be close to another?

honesty creates intimate connections and decreases the turbulence of life dishonesty creates distance and problems that have to be dealt with in the future

sometimes growth hurts, but it is the type of pain that is easier to endure because it is helping us come forward as a better version of ourselves.

the greatest gift sadness gave me was the motivation to transform do not let a cloudy mind trick you into doing things you are done with reminder: you can love people and simultaneously not allow them to harm you

to be so broken to have f a l l e n so deeply that the only thing you can do is r i s e into a new you (phoenix)

the healer you have been looking for is your own courage to know and love yourself completely

i do not wish to change the past it made me who i am today i only want to learn from it and live in a new way

letting go doesn’t mean forgetting; it means we stop carrying the energy of the past into the present

be kind allow yourself the time and space to settle into the new you

a real sign of progress is when we no longer punish ourselves for our imperfections
