It's Okay to be Uncomfortable

What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

“It’s okay to be uncomfortable.”

☀️💛☀️

Comfort is a beautiful thing:
a resting place
a being place.

But not a growing place.

Comfort doesn’t expand you.
Discomfort is where you grow. 

Discomfort is a feeling
and it’s meant to be a part of your human experience. 

We are designed to break open before we bloom. 

Abortion cracks us open. 

It reveals to us 
—and to the world— 
a new part of who we are.

It shows us new way to love
new passages to journey
new places to go.

Discomfort is never the problem.

Our resistance to discomfort is what sabotages our human experience. 

Everything is here to show you something—
discomfort included.
