It's Okay to be Uncomfortable

What I wish I had heard after my abortion:“It’s okay to be uncomfortable.”☀️💛☀️Comfort is a beautiful thing:a resting placea being place.But not a growing place.Comfort doesn’t expand you.Discomfort is where you grow. Discomfort is a feelingand it’s meant to be a part of your human experience. We are designed to break open before we bloom. Abortion cracks us open. It reveals to us —and to the world— a new part of who we are.It shows us new way to lovenew passages to journeynew places to go.Discomfort is never the problem.Our resistance to discomfort is what sabotages our human experience. Everything is here to show you something—discomfort included. I believe that some things in life pick us…That’s exactly how I feel about my abortion.I don’t just think abortion picked me to teach me a lesson. I believe that my baby picked me so that I could do this work, so that I could help other women find the inner peace and strength I was able to access before, during, and after my procedure.
