My goal is to be the girl that’s lived as many lives as possible. I want to settle into my path one day feeling overwhelming peaceful—because I know I tried for everything I wanted.
Seeing yourself get better at emotional regulation is great. It's like yay I'm acting different in challenging situations and not allowing temporary emotions throw me off course
Sometimes I fall back just to protect my peace. Too many lurkers looking for energy to prey on. Say you’re happy—they evil eye you. Say you’re miserable—they go to sleep smiling.
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.
This is so true! Don’t be fooled into thinking you shouldn’t let love in, just because you’re not exactly where you want to be. You can’t put amazing connections on hold and time waits for nobody.
