I’ve spent the last twenty years trying to heal from trauma and unhelpful thought patterns—struggling to see things as they truly are. I questioned everything about my reality: Why do I see things the way I do? How can I reframe them to see things differently?

For example, I asked myself: Why do I think money is evil? Is this something I truly believe, or is it a belief unconsciously passed down from my parents—something I accepted because I was too young to know any better? Is it really true that money is evil? How can I view it in a different light?

I spent weeks attending meditation retreats and participated in a wide range of spiritual gatherings and events—from Native American traditions to Wicca, from witchcraft to Christianity and Judaism.

Today, I realized something important: you can spend your whole life focused on self-improvement, always thinking there’s something wrong with you. But that’s life—perfection is impossible. Every time you overcome one challenge, another eventually appears. You can end up dwelling on everything and never truly living.

There is such a thing as over-healing—getting so caught up in fixing yourself that you forget to live. From now on, I’m going to focus on living and having fun—enjoying life and accepting that I am good enough and healed enough.
