I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
Hardest pill to swallow is realizing people do not care. They’ll hurt you & really go on about their lives. Not even slightly affected about what they did to you & how you feel. Regardless if it’s friendships, relationships, or family.
Their final gift to you, was repeating their pattern one more time so you could finally see that, despite their potential, this is who they choose to be
I think I've hit that season where I'm not angry anymore, just aware. I see people clearly. I move differently. I don’t explain.. I just shift. This is maturity mixed with grace.
Stop explaining your pain to people who caused it. They know. They just don't care. And every time you try to make them understand, you reopen wounds they never intended to heal.
I saw a TikTok about a girl saying how she doesn't stay mad for long because either she's going to figure it out, or there's nothing that can be done about it. And as simple as that sounds is as simple as it is really.
