This is the difference.You are not your emotions.You are the ocean that holds them.Each one—grief, joy, frustration, love—is just a wave passing through. Some crash loudly.Some ripple softly.But none of them stay forever.Unless we try to fight them. TheContinue reading “🌊 “Emotions Are Waves, Not Life Sentences””
