The older I get, the more I reach the conclusion that most problems within any relationship can be resolved with emotional intelligence and good communication, only if both parties have the same intention: to find solutions.
Random thought: it's throws me off when people say "I did a complete 360" to talk about a change they made.... a 360 would put you back where you started. You did a 180 🫠
but I digress
my life is nowhere near where i want it to be but i still just feel so grateful to be here right now. to show up most days trying my best to just make it happen for myself. the rough days make me appreciate the radiant ones. i pray i can give myself the life i feel i deserve.
When you finally realize that someone’s behavior has more to do with their internal struggle than it ever did with you, you learn grace. You also naturally learn detachment as well.
Friendships require the same effort, love, grace, consistency, kindness, patience, forgiveness, vulnerability and trust that you give to romantic relationships. Stop treating friends like they are replaceable just because of disagreements or misunderstandings. Do the work.
My ideal relationship is one that doesn’t always feel like I’m in a relationship, if that makes sense. Just feels like i’m hanging out with my bestfriend everyday.

Today I really didn't want to talk to my therapist bc 1. I just wasn't in the mood & 2. I didn't think I really had any progress the past week.
It turned out to be one of the best sessions I've had since starting & we made a lot of new discoveries.
Keep doing your the work.
