Healing takes many forms

We all have our own journeys. It's difficult to take most journeys alone, especially if one has been hurt, abused, ridiculed throughout their lives or in relationships. To take a step forward so one can expound, share, make themselves vulnerable to others ridicule or acceptance may be a step towards healing.

This forum is a place unlike others. It allows people to express themselves and their fears, sometimes to the dislike of others. It takes courage to stand up for something that is wrong. But who is to judge what is wrong or what is right in the process of healing? We all have boundaries we have set for ourselves, and our own boundaries ought not be forced upon others, as long as our boundaries don't hurt anyone. Boundaries are not all the same. They create comfort for the individual they are set to protect.

Working on healing ones self takes time, and healing takes on many different forms. To some, another persons personal method of healing may not conform to their own personal boundaries. But if healing occurs and works for the individual using it, is accepted by others involved in that healing, then there ought not be a problem.

The goal of this site I assume is self-realization and learning to love ones self and to heal. We "all" are worthy of love and acceptance. We have all earned that love if we have done the best we can possibly do, even if we what we earned is just loving ourselves.

Everyone is different. Everyone has a different journey. What works for one may not work for anyone else. But that does not make it less effective if it results in healing, and all those personally involved accept how that healing occurs.

We all need to take some things with the proverbial "grain of salt", and hope for the best. We all need each other on this site, even those that remain silent, as they may need those who choose to speak.
