We caretake because we’re desperate to be taken care of for once.
We see the best in people because we’re desperate for people to see the best in us.
We want to protect vulnerable people because we were once that vulnerable person unprotected.
Our younger self always remembers.
The beginning of healing comes from the end of pleasing. Your needs, desires, and emotions matter. Stop appeasing to be loved and start building a love that doesn’t require self sacrifice.
And if you want me to be honest & blunt -
if you can’t even attempt to see things in another light or perspective other than your own- it’s a lower-level of human consciousness/awareness (in my opinion)
cuz there’s a much bigger world out there outside of ur own experiences.
It’s really uncomfortable when you’re in a long term friendship and you realize all that’s really keeping the relationship together is stories of the past and you aren’t even that person anymore.
