having your emotions consistently invalidated as a child & one day waking up as an adult expected to validate your own emotions in order to set boundaries & trust your feelings over everyone else’s is an extremely wild fucking experience. be gentle with yourself. you’re learning.
Random thought , but these past few months with my s/o have been so beautiful and really peaceful and I’m learning it’s because we’re both very firm about adjusting boundaries as our relationship continues to grow
But now it feels very different. My s/o and I adjust boundaries as we see fit, and we honestly are very comfortable and happy together. And if I’m being really honest… this is the happiest relationship I have ever been in :)
