You are not "healed" just because you cut everyone off, blocked your exes, and sit in your room alone making aesthetic videos about "protecting your peace." True healing is only tested in the presence of triggers, conflict, and intimacy. Being peaceful because you actively avoid all deep human interaction isn't emotional growth; it is just self-imposed quarantine. You are still broken; you just removed the audience
romanticize your life, take pretty pictures, feel like the main character, light up a candle, read books, go for a walk, dance to your favorite music, buy yourself presents, do whatever you want, be happy - this is your life, don't let anyone take it from you
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
