You can only meet someone as far as they have met themselves. Read that again. Doesn’t matter how much you give or what you do, take shit for face value and leave. Love is not enough.
Hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. You gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. Life doesn’t care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going
sometimes a healthy relationship requires the people in it to teach the other how to love them properly. we all come from such different upbringings that what we may deem a sufficient love expression may not be that for the person receiving it from us.
I’m proud of anyone breaking the cycle. Healing their inner child. Learning how to regulate their emotions. People don’t talk about how much humility it takes. Inner work goes unnoticed and unrecognized.
I see you.
