Tornadoes.

Change.

Change can tear through our lives sometimes like a tornado.

Destroying everything in its path, and leaving us broken into a million tiny pieces.

How do we survive that?

How do we pick back up and move forward again after we’ve shattered?

The truth is you will never put those pieces back together the way they were before.

but that’s okay.

Being broken into so many pieces hurts terribly.

You end up going through your own inner darkness, and sometimes it feels like you won’t get back out of it. It feels overwhelming, and all encompassing.

but you will heal.

Pick each piece of yourself up one by one and examine it.

Hold it up to the light, and learn it. Acknowledge it. Feel it.

Accept it.

Once you can really see it clearly, you’ll know what to do with it.

You will know if it’s something you want to put back into yourself, or something that should be discarded.

Little by little, piece by piece, you do this,

and before you know it you’ve built yourself back into something so beautiful you won’t even recognize the old you.

A stained glass window can hardly be compared to the pieces of glass it started as.

You’ll be able to look at yourself and feel true love for what you see there,

because now you see YOU.

So who are you going to build yourself into?

The possibilities are limitless.
