when you feel lost
focus where the love is.
the inspiration is abundant there
the growth is bountiful there
the reset is free there
the paths back to yourself exist there.
Signs that you’re healing….
You start seeing people for who they are and not just their potential.
You stop making excuses for people’s behavior.
You stop blaming yourself for how others have treated you.
You make choices that are in your best interest and don’t feel guilty.
The people that want to hear you, will hear you. The people that want to make you feel seen, will make you feel seen. The people that want you to feel safe with them, will make you feel safe. The people that truly love you, will show you. It’s simple
Learn the red flags of those who see other people as resources, not humans. To them your feelings are a joke, your boundaries are a game and your needs are selfish. No matter how much you do, won’t be enough because they operate from entitlement and lack, not gratitude and grace.
