The feeling of ‘void’ is exciting, you feel ‘nothing’, you are empty, mindless, disinterested — in everything. The void comprises the empty, lonely feelings stemming from holes in our hearts and soul. Sometimes these holes are fresh wounds like a breakup, death in the family, or losing our job.

Sometimes they stem from something much deeper, like a lack of connection with family growing up, a childhood trauma, or hurt caused by someone in our past.  Most of us jump right into distractions.  The truth is that anytime you try to distract yourself from feeling what you're feeling, you're avoiding the fact that you're not whole. Something is missing, damaged, or broken; until you face it, no person or thing will ever make you feel complete.

When you take the time to feel and experience the uncomfortable space that is void, you begin to see things. And when you can see things clearly, you can begin to heal. 
Maybe it's not that you need that specific person in your life to talk to... It's that you need to be heard.

If you're wise, you'll sit with the void. You'll feel the hurts and let them out. You'll talk about them, cry, break dishes in anger, and write, write, write it out. You'll explore them. Why do I feel this? What have I been neglecting? What have I not allowed to heal? If you're not ready, you'll stuff them with someone or something else. A new guy you met randomly and convinced yourself is the next "one." A new job or client with excessive hours, or the regular workload you've managed to max out to 12-15 hours daily.

Food, drugs, and sex are the worst ways to fill a void. The only way to be happy, healthy, and whole is to face and deal with the gaps you carry in your heart and soul. If something is missing, broken, or empty inside of you, no person or thing will fill it. Only you can heal yourself and close the voids.


Trust me, it's worth every heart-wrenching moment.
Because when you heal the hurts and fill the voids with your love, light, and self, you become whole again. When you're whole, you feel a sense of joy and fulfillment that no outside person or thing can replicate. These external circumstances will heighten the feelings you're already experiencing.
