When you stop wanting to rehash it
You’ve healed
When it’s a distant memory instead of an angry flashback
You’ve healed
When you can see the beauty in the lesson without wanting to revisit it
You’ve healed
When you’re finally excited for what’s to coming
You’ve healed
‘i want you to fucking get it! i want you to understand where i’m coming from, understand how the shit you’re doing is affecting me, understand the pain you’ve caused me, understand how i could never have done what you did to me, to you. i just want you to understand my pain...’
The enemy wouldn’t have wasted so much time and energy on you if there wasn’t something amazing in front of you. Don’t complain about what didn’t work out. God is still working. He’ll make up for what was unfair. He’ll pay you back for the wrongs.
It’s easy to get frustrated and fight against things we don’t like. “God, why is this happening, when are You going to change it?” We think it’s holding us back, but Psalm 119 says, “Everything serves His plan.”
Have the courage to say what you need in the moment. Most people aren’t mind readers.
Two things will happen: You’ll either get what you need or realize that the source you are asking doesn’t have the capacity to deliver. Both are gifts.
If someone wants to be with you, they’ll be with you. If they want to take care of you, they will. If they want to talk to you or see you, they won’t make excuses not to. Don’t beg for love that you deserve, because the right person will give you the world.
