\u201cLately I\u2019ve noticed that after years of working on myself and doing so much healing, my body almost feels safer in the heavy emotions than it does in joy,\u201d Clarke continued in the caption. \u201cLike when I go to post something light or positive, there\u2019s a little voice that says, \u2018Wait, are you not telling the truth if you don\u2019t name the struggle too?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Clarke vowed to continue sharing the \u201cups and downs in this journey of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut understanding, joy doesn\u2019t erase the struggle. Both can exist at the same time. And maybe the healing isn\u2019t choosing one or the other, but learning to hold both,\u201d she concluded. \u201cAllowing both to exist is being human \ud83e\udd8b.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
