i asked my mom, “Do you think I should go back to my ex?” she smiled and said, “If you come across the same tree twice in a forest, you’re not exploring, you’re lost.” That was all the answer I needed.
I can’t stress how important it is to know who you are as a person because people will literally try to project their insecurities and preconceived notions onto you unprovoked.
When they no longer need you, they will do their best to make you out to be the problem so they feel justified about how they treat you.
Try not to take it personal.
