We don’t fall in love randomly. We fall in love exactly.
The relationship that triggers your oldest wounds is also the one most capable of healing them.
Not by recreating the wound. By finally doing it differently.
Loving someone through active addiction? A thread. 🧵
1/ You think if you love them enough, support them enough, believe in them enough — they’ll get better. That’s not love. That’s a losing campaign.
2/ Addiction is not a moral failure. It’s a solution to unbearable pain. And love doesn’t reach that pain. It never did.
3/ Your competence becomes their cushion. Your loyalty becomes the system that makes it possible to keep using. That’s not devotion. That’s enabling.
4/ The most radical thing you can do for someone you love who is actively using? Stop organizing your life around their destruction.
5/ Sometimes loving someone means watching them face the full weight of their consequences without catching them.
That is not abandonment. That is the only honest love available.

Many people hide from themselves in relationships, when the VERY thing required to create the great relationship we desire is to meet those parts of ourselves we’re afraid of more courageously than ever before.

Peace is only to be found,
in the NOW moment.
If you’re always expecting
or anticipating something,
then you are not allowing
the NOW moment
to give you the peace,
love and stillness
it unfailingly contains.
Breathe.
Calm your mind.
Rest your heart.

Last week, it was Virginia Beach. But day after day and year after year, too many families and communities are shattered by senseless gun violence. We can't get numb to this. On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, pledge to speak out, #WearOrange — and vote — to protect lives.
you’ve dressed your trauma in denial for lovers who romanticize perfection in fear that they might leave if they see the real you, while ignoring everything that exists underneath your layers of pain, but i hope you know that unaddressed trauma breeds the most toxic connections.
there’s something about the things left unsaid that have a way of weighing down on your spirit. make peace with the pieces that are still heavy on you. the ones that still linger, the ones that refuse to fade away. people, the past, experiences. make peace until you feel lighter.
