Growth - not a healing. I love this so much. Maybe we are lacking the word ‘in between’. Between a growth and healing (as restore to the state ‘before’). For those moments that are asking of you to redefine things, shatter a bit, go right through it. It is still a growth and evolution, but those moments feel so profound and sacred - I feel like there isn’t a word that covers this 😊
You’re right, we do lack a word for it. Maybe “renewal,” but even that doesn’t seem profound enough. I wonder if other cultures or languages have a word for it
I like this perspective. I think "healing" is necessary from deeply traumatic events, but I think sometimes we overuse the term. At this point in my life, I don't think I'm healing so much as growing, as you described here. Most of my prevalent wounds are already healed. I love thought-provoking posts such as these.
I completely agree that healing is important, but like everything else, it has its purposes. There was a time when I needed to heal to return to a status quo, a foundation from which I could rebuild and grow. However, that’s where the healing process ended.
Thank you for reading! It took me a while to respond as I haven’t been very active. I’ve been waiting for a moment like this, where I could log in and take the time to reply thoughtfully.
