Ghost In Therapy

“No living creature is born evil; even the devil was a fallen angel after all.

If ghosts are real, instead of condemning them to hell in exorcisms, we should give them therapy. Tell them,

‘You don’t want anyone to suffer like you did. You have unresolved trauma and, while it’s hard to admit, you just want to be seen, felt, heard, and validated. You want someone to know what you went through, how you felt, someone to understand and acknowledge your pain. Maybe that’s why you try to inflict the same wounds on people. It's okay to not want to be alone in your pain; it’s completely normal to want people around you to validate your feelings. You don’t have to hurt them for that. They’ll understand you better in your love language. You were not born a ghost; you were human once. You have to break your generational curses, this cycle of abuse. You have the power in you to do that and free your heart. You deserve love too. You deserve to break free from the shackles of your own guilt and pain. Trauma is not forever. You can move through it. You’re a ghost after all now.’

To me, in this blip in time and space, we are all ghosts, wrongfully taken away from our spiritual realm to this human world, born to earn freedom. Odds against us, fuming and angsty when we’re young, thirsty and greedy when we’re older, and a midlife crisis looming because society thinks being irrational isn’t normal. It’s a crisis! But the crisis is the lack of empathy we fail to give ourselves and others. The lack of love that is unconditional and selfless because we think too much and feel less. We’ve forgotten feeling. Thinking about love is not love, and you’re not guilty of love until it isn’t proven. Show it or you don’t have it. Take pictures or you weren’t there. The past is nothing but a ghost, and if you can’t get it out of your house, just be friends with it.”
