“Feeling good again is not forgetting. It’s returning to yourself.”
You laughed today. You danced while cooking. You forgot them for a whole hour.
And then guilt arrived. That voice that says, 'How dare you feel good?'
But joy is not betrayal. It’s your birthright.
You are allowed to feel sunshine on your skin without apologizing to your past.
Joy doesn’t erase love. It honors your resilience.
Let it in.
Smile — even if it feels small. Say: 'I welcome joy. I am safe to feel good again.'
Do something playful — even five minutes of dancing or laughing. No guilt.
Kendall L. “The first time I laughed again, I cried afterward. But now I know — joy means I’m coming back to life.”
Joy is your birthright — not a betrayal.
