She spent two days
making her outfit, spent her last $50 on
a new pair of shoes. She had her
hair and nails done, spent forty-five
minutes putting on her makeup.
When she got there, she spent the entire
evening sitting in the corner, half
smiling, half crying. On the
outside she looked beautiful. On
the inside she felt worthless. So
many of us invest a fortune making
ourselves look good to the world, yet on
the inside we are falling apart.
We manage to muddle through life saying
and doing the right things, but when
we're alone we cry silent and desperate
tears. It is time to pause and
heal the inside. It is time to
heal the hurts, mend the fences, dig up
the hatchets and throw them away.
It it time to pause and heal the inside.
It is time to heal the hurts, mend the
fences, dig up the hatchets and throw
them away. It is time to heal the
doubts, answer the questions and release
the fears. It is time to invest
some time to what is going on inside.
When we can do that, the outside will
shine.
