The Heart Remembers What the Mind Tries to Forget

There is no true ending.

You can leave the relationship.

Block the number.

Walk away from the job.

Cut the cord with family.

Even wish for the one who hurt you to suffer.

You might call it justice. Closure. Healing.

But is it really over?

Not if the patterns are still playing out in your inner world.

Not if your heart is still bruised beneath the armor.

Not if you haven’t asked yourself:

• Why did I attract this?

• What part of me needed this mirror?

• Where am I still abandoning, dishonoring, or silencing myself?

  
  

We often think an “ending” means escape.

But the soul doesn’t escape.

The soul evolves.

And it will use everything—even heartbreak—to awaken us.

Let’s Get Real for a Second

The ego-mind is wired for survival.

It clings to stories, roles, identities—even pain—if it provides a sense of safety.

The ego doesn’t seek peace through presence.

It seeks peace through control, certainty, and protection.

But the heart is different.

The heart is where our deepest emotional truths live.

Some say the heart is where the soul resides—and that makes sense.

Because the heart isn’t just where we feel—It’s where we know.

It’s the gateway to the soul—

The bridge between our human wounds and our divine wisdom.

The Heart Seeks Love . . . and Fears It, Too

The heart longs for love—

Not the curated, performative kind.

But the real, the raw, the vulnerable.

It wants to give and receive love,

not perform it, prove it, or perfect it.

But when the heart has been hurt—

by betrayal, grief, or abandonment—

it learns to fear love.

Because love requires risk. Openness. Surrender.

And in that fear, the heart starts to crave peace.

But not peace through withdrawal or avoidance.

It seeks peace through the restoration of real love—

Love rooted in truth.

Love that honors the self.

Love that liberates, not just soothes.

So the Journey Becomes This:

💔 To feel the pain without becoming it.

🪞 To recognize the mirror without blaming it.

🕊️ To return to love—without abandoning yourself.

---

And Here's the Deeper Truth:

• The ego seeks control.

• The heart seeks love.

• The soul seeks evolution.

---

So maybe that “ending” you’re in right now…

Isn’t meant to break you.

It’s meant to wake you.

To call you back to your true self—

Not the version of you shaped by survival,

but the one who remembers who they were before the wounding.

Because endings are never really endings.

They’re initiations.

Invitations to go deeper.

To do the real work.

To free ourselves—

not from them,

but from the parts of us still caught in the loop.
