Growing up in a perfectionist family can feel like living on a tightrope. no matter how far you’ve come,one slip erases all your worth in their eyes. You’re constantly performing for approval that might never come. You may even start feeling like you can never amount to anything.
You can only get a sweet version of me once. Whether she stays forever depends entirely on you. Any other version of me you get is simply returned energy.🍂
Nobody should be allowed to project their past experiences, insecurities, or bad choices onto you.
If they can't appreciate you, walk away!
Prioritize your mental well-being my darling.
I don’t do well in spaces that constantly question my character at all!
I’m a good person. I move with intentions, and I’m very self aware. If you have a problem seeing that, it says more about your lens than my reality.

The truth is, empathy doesn't have to drain you. It becomes lighter, when you practice BALANCE( set boundaries, find those who care as deeply as you do and, learn to turn empathy inward). It's not just about carrying others, you deserve to be carried too.
Empathy is the quiet superpower that lets you step into someone else’s pain and hold it with care, even when it’s heavy. You listen to everyone, understand them, comfort them and try to share their pain, because you know what it’s like to feel alone,
The words you’ve spoken to heal others never seem to find their way back to you. You start to wonder if anyone truly sees you the way you’ve seen them. And in that moment, empathy feels less like a gift, and more like a burden and a form form of loneliness.
But it's up to you to decide to step off the rope. It gets scary at first. The ground may feel shaky, but it will hold you. It's Only after you stand on it, that you can finally breathe, move freely and live without needing anyone's validation.

You’re not exactly happy about it, but something in you just lets go, and you realize you can live with it. It’s a quiet kind of peace that comes when you least expect it.
Sometimes, after you’ve been hurt or let down, there comes this unexpected moment when you just… accept it. You stop asking why, you stop replaying what happened in your head, and you stop hoping it will change.
