A healing stage is disgust. Yes, disgust. You will be DISGUSTED by the people whose love you seeked. You will feel embarrassed about the choices you made and the people who had access to you who didn’t deserve it. Feel this feeling then let it go.
That will NEVER be you again.
A lot of ppl don’t feel they can do better. That’s the real thing about it or make excuses that they’re too tired to date again, they don’t have time, time/money invested, etc. Reality is if you felt even 80% confident in your life, body, mind, you’d choose yourself always.

When you in a serious relationship, you’re suppose to move differently. Yeah you grown you can do whatever you want, but certain things are out of respect you have for your partner! It’s not about being controlled or about your partner being insecure it’s a respect thing.
I choose to be patient. I choose to trust the process. Everything I have visualized, intended, prayed about and worked on is in the process of manifesting.
