Cynicism is not the same as being rooted in reality. It might feel that way because of others’ unkind behaviours or hurt you feel, but it’s actually a sign of a heart lockdown and of unhealed wounds that we unconsciously hang onto in order to feel a sense of control or stability.

Healing opens the heart and creates space to allow love to flourish inside. But sadly, some don’t know how to experience love, how to handle healing, or don’t have the support they need, so cynicism prevails. Please get help if this is you, or boundary up if this is a loved one.
