@thebword_za: You can accept that life doesn't follow a timeline AND still be heartbroken that yours didn't. Both. Things. Can. Be. True. 🥹 Sometimes, the grief isn't even about never getting what you wanted. It's about not getting to experience it WHEN you wanted it. You might still find love, but you won't be 24 experiencing your first great love. You might eventually afford the life you dreamed of, but you can't go back and give your 25-year-old self those experiences. And that's a difficult truth to sit with, especially when we're constantly told to be grateful for what we have and stop dwelling on what we don't. But gratitude doesn't cancel grief. And accepting your reality doesn't mean pretending it never hurt. Have you ever had to mourn a version of your life that you thought you'd be living by now? 🎧 Full episode out now on YouTube (The B Word) & According to B podcast and wherever you listen to your podcasts.
