I spent so much time making sure everybody else was good that I got used to putting myself last. The more I kept showing up for people, the more they expected it without thinking twice. After a while I realized I was giving people a version of me I wasn’t even giving myself. If choosing me makes me look selfish, I’m cool with that. I know what it feels like to always come last, and I’m not living like that anymore.
If you offer me a sincere apology and change your behavior, I'll never bring up our past issues again. But if no apology was given and you're still repeating mistakes, you can't ask me to stop mentioning the past. The past is actually the present if you haven't changed.
Reality is some people just don’t align & this was my last year letting my empathy for people keep me attached to what my discernment already rejected.
