A healing stage is DISGUST. Yes, DISGUST. You will be DISGUSTED by the people whose love you seeked. You will feel embarrassed about the choices you made and the people who had access to you who didn't deserve it. Feel this feeling then let it go.
That will NEVER be you again.
I literally cried when my therapist said "toxic family members rarely apologize. They would rather carry their denial to the grave than face the damage they've caused..in their minds, the pain they created was somehow your fault. Sometimes healing means accepting the apology you'l never get."
According to psychology some people will never reach out and speak to you again because they don't have the maturity to cope with the fact that they did you wrong and you didn't deserve it. Since they lack accountability, they will create a made-up narrative about you so they don't feel bad about themselves
life is wildly unpredictable, you can spend the first half of the year from january to june feeling like everything is falling apart and struggling hard, only for things to shift suddenly from july and the rest of the year turns into your best chapter yet.
this is the number one thing I’ve learned from matchmaking!!! the healthiest people are just like “I want someone cute and smart whom I can communicate well with”
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.
The people who hurt you the most will often go on to live their best lives, smiling and moving forward as if nothing ever happened. They won’t pause, they won’t look back, and they won’t even feel the weight of what they did to you, while you’re still learning how to breathe through the pain they left behind.
ppl are already pointing this out but it saying “from the HANDS that created-” instead of “from the creators/makers-“ is an absolute power move. will be seated for this on day one and i mean it
