The Peace that Comes with Indifference

We all go through difficult things. Trauma, family troubles, heartbreak, grief. That’s life. With every low comes a high though. Life must balance itself out. This winter I went through heartbreak. Throughout the spring i’ve been healing and working through this heartbreak and now as summer approaches i’ve reached the point of indifference.

Indifference is the best spot to be after something difficult. It means you’ve been healing and can look forward to the future with excitement. And let me clarify, indifference isn’t the same as being numb. You may confuse the feeling of numbness for indifference if you shoved the trauma or hard to process emotions down. Going numb isn’t healthy though because those feelings will always resurface one way or another. It’ll come up in another relationship until you break the cycles these lessons are here to teach you about.

Indifference on the other hand, is beautiful and freeing. It’s when you can look at heartbreak and understand it for the lesson it was. It’s being able to look at your ex partner and no longer feel anger or sadness, just indifference. That is a new level of peace. And from this you can begin the process of forgiveness. That is the ultimate healing.

Winter may have brought me a low, but summer is bringing many highs to look forward to. In less than a month I leave for another Eurosummer. Then I come back to finish off the summer in California with my friends. I may not have expected it, but I have another summer to enjoy being single and on my own. Staying true to myself, as a lover girl, I don’t mean i’ll be hopping around Europe having flings. I’m enjoying my singleness in a more fulfilling way. By pouring back into my cup again. Learning about myself and repairing my foundation for life. Let another Eat, Pray, Love summer commence!
