i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you
My favorite part of the bible is when God is like you don’t need to eat the rich I’ve got hell waiting to eat them for eternity they aren’t getting through these gates.
no contact is easy when you realize they're a dishonest, deeply insecure weirdo — it’s the grief of not listening to your intuition and body tht will get ya
being depressed while ppl are hitting on you is so fucking funny. sorry i ignored you calling me the most beautiful girl in the world, i was too busy telling myself i didn't deserve to live and also sleeping 20 hours
nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. the rage you feel when you realize how much and how long you were taken advantage of. the absolute disgust you feel towards those people that mislead you. it comes in waves. sometimes you’ll feel healed and then it suddenly hits you.
A narcissist will let his own house fall apart but be a hero everywhere else. Smiling for strangers, showing up and saving everybody but the people who love him. Behind closed doors? Cold, dismissive, and emotionally abusive. Image over integrity every time.
