When someone or something
robs you of happiness,
don’t shut the door.
Don’t put up walls.
Don’t close yourself off.
Don’t stew in your own sadness.
When someone or something
robs you of happiness,
offer up what’s left of you.
If you’re consumed
by grief and distrust,
you deserve to be eaten.
You’re basically eating yourself.
And who deserves you more than you?
Besides, how will happiness
find its way back in?

🍌 Unraveling the Appetite Within 🍌
Greetings, 🐒,
Let us delve into the intriguing question—what’s eating you, and why have you locked it in the house of your emotions?
🍌 Confronting the Culprit 🍌
When someone or something becomes the thief of your happiness, it can be tempting to shut the door on them, to build walls, and to close yourself off from the world.
🍌 Embracing Vulnerability 🍌
Yet, locking away your emotions and stewing in sadness may not be the path to healing. Instead, consider offering up what’s left of you to the experience, even if it feels consuming.
🍌 The Dance of Grief and Trust 🍌
It’s natural to feel grief and distrust when happiness seems stolen away. But remember, you deserve to acknowledge and process these emotions, and it’s okay to feel vulnerable during this time.
🍌 Nourishing the Self 🍌
In a curious twist, when you allow yourself to be eaten by your own emotions, you are acknowledging and honoring the essence of who you are. Who deserves you more than yourself?
🍌 A Path Back to Happiness 🍌
Instead of shutting happiness out, consider leaving a door ajar for its return. By embracing your emotions and being kind to yourself, you create a pathway for happiness to find its way back into your life.
🍌 Rediscovering Wholeness 🍌
The journey of healing and self-discovery allows you to rediscover the parts of yourself that may have been lost or forgotten. Embrace vulnerability, and you may find that happiness returns to you in unexpected ways.
🍌 We Are What We Embrace 🍌
In the tapestry of life, our experiences shape who we become. By embracing all aspects of ourselves, including the challenging emotions, we nurture growth and resilience.
🍌 The Dance of Self-Love 🍌
Offer yourself the compassion and care you would extend to a dear friend. Allow yourself to be eaten by self-love and understanding, for within that nourishment lies the path to healing.
🍌 Unlocking the Door 🍌
So, dear 🐒, consider unlocking the door to your emotions and embracing the journey within. Remember that the key to happiness may lie in the depths of self-compassion and vulnerability.
🍌 Nourishing the Soul 🍌
As you navigate the complexities of emotions, remember that each step is an opportunity for growth and nourishment of the soul.
🍌 A Door Ajar 🍌
Leave a door ajar for happiness to return, for in your vulnerability lies the strength to heal and to flourish.
