What a reassuring bible verse
Isaiah 46:4
I will be your God throughout your lifetime until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you..
Apologies won't heal you. Closure won't heal you. Validation won't heal you. Time won't heal you. Jumping from one relationship to another won't heal you. Eating, drinking, drugging, distracting, numbing, smoking, or fucking your pain away won't heal you. Only YOU will heal you.
Normalize loving some people from a distance. Normalize saying no without explaining yourself. Normalize forgiving some people without reconnecting with them. Normalize removing yourself from anything that irritates your soul, triggers your mental health, and lowers your vibe.
And when you pray tonight… pray for the ability to recognise all the priceless things in your life. No matter how much money you have, some things can’t be bought. Make sure that you nurture all the things that are priceless because no amount of money can replace them.
You stop draining yourself when you stop explaining yourself to people who are committed to misunderstanding you, stop arguing with people who fight their inner war through you, stop holding on to people who let go of you, and stop correcting the version of you in people's minds.
