About This Quote

Whether you deny your wounds or see them clearly, they bring a great source of power because they lived in the same place as your heart. The pain of wounds is real. It’s not something that can be denied or pushed away. We all feel it in some form, even if we can’t put our finger on it.

But denial only adds to the pain. Instead, seeing your wounds clearly is something that brings great power to you. It helps you know that you are not alone, that there are others out there who understand what you are going through and can lend their support and strength to you in times of need.
