Fireproof

June 7, 2023

Good morning lovelies.

A quote from one of my favorite people blessing us on this planet. She says it all in this one statement that describes exactly how I have felt and come through in my life. Maybe you to. Here’s to being fireproof. Love S❤️

First: I can feel everything and survive.

What I thought would kill me, didn’t. Every time I said to myself: I can’t take this anymore—I was wrong. The truth was that I could and did take it all—and I kept surviving. Surviving again and again made me less afraid of myself, of other people, of life. I learned that I’d never be free from pain but I could be free from the fear of pain, and that was enough. I finally stopped avoiding fires long enough to let myself burn, and what I learned was that I am like that burning bush: The fire of pain won’t consume me. I can burn and burn and live. I can live on fire. I am fireproof.
