Gaslighting is when they repeatedly cause you to feel crazy & confused. They play the victim by blaming YOU when you address their toxic behaviour. They avoid taking responsibility by lying, denying, & making you question your feelings, sanity, & facts. It's manipulation & abuse.
Maturing is realizing you don't wanna be around drama, stress or conflict anymore. You start choosing calm over chaos, and distance over disrespect. You start prioritizing your peace, mental health, and happiness — over everything.
i hope you do yourself the favor of focusing your energy on the people who love to love you. the ones that make you feel worthy just by how they look at you or how often they remind you of your greatness. i hope you direct your attention towards those that show up for you today.
