I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
I think when you’re transitioning from being a people pleaser into someone with better boundaries it can feel so strange — it's hard to tell if you’re being mean or if you’re simply respecting your own feelings, bcoz you’re so used to putting other people's feelings before yours.
Pray for Gaza now. Pray for Gaza when this horror finally ends. Pray for Gaza for generations to come because they will never recover from what’s taking place right now. These horrific tales will be told for centuries and anyone who hears them will shudder and weep in disbelief.
