Plant Healing, Not Hurt

If you poop in the woods, it’s best to bury it so no one else steps in it and it doesn’t foul up the air. Let’s apply the same principle to our emotional baggage instead of passing it on as generational trauma. A community can’t heal when we’re all swimming in a pool of each other’s s#&% [pain]. Instead of spreading it like a virus, let’s confront it, address it, feel it, and then release it.

Burying your pain doesn’t mean forgetting it. It means acknowledging it, allowing it to transform, and turning it into something that nourishes growth. Just as buried waste can fertilize the earth, buried trauma, when dealt with, can pave the way for new beginnings and healthier futures. Let’s start nurturing our collective garden by responsibly tending to our emotional waste.
