You know you’re the healed version of you when you stop giving energy to the people who continually dismiss how much they hurt you.

One day, that mountain that’s in front of you will be a speck of dust behind you.
But the person that you’ve become while you climbed over it?
That will stay with you forever.
And that’s the point of the mountain.
Forgiveness is not about forgiving THEM, or forgiving the abuse.
It’s about forgiving YOU.
Forgive yourself for the things that you had to do, the person you had to become, to survive the abuse you endured.

Narcissists will ignore your requests, belittle your boundaries - and then accuse YOU of badgering them when you stand your ground.
Keep standing your ground anyway.
You may never change them - but you’ll transform yourself in the process.

And when you finally heal,
You’ll realize they had nothing to offer you from day one…
Just lies and other bullshit.
It was YOU who had something that they always wanted…
Your joy.
Your dignity.
Your love.
And they can never take that away from you.
