Hurt in private. Heal in silence. Glow in public.

Healing. Growing. Glowing. Accepting. Learning. Unlearning. Relearning. Evolving.

Love yourself a little extra right now. You’re evolving, learning, healing, growing, and discovering yourself all at once. It’s about to get magical for you.

in as much as we want someone who’s in any form of a narcissistic relationship to walk away It isn’t that easy. May you simply continue to pray that Gods would either grant divine clarity or to allow the other person to walk away.

May you be a soft place to land on for the narcissistic abuse victim/survivor. The mental battles their navigating between cognitive dissonance and reality is a hard one already.

just to set some ground work a victim/survivor is in a trauma bond with their abuser/narcissist. The cycle of idealize, devalue and discard is a vicious one. The victim will continually go through the cycle bc they’ve become chemically addicted to them.

they’re willing to go through the humiliation, stonewalling, and all forms of abuse to get their “hit”. meaning that simple kiss on the forehead or the “you look beautiful today” releases enough dopamine in the brain to be stronger than that of heroine.

to you standing on the outside who can see objectively be reminded that it’s not the same for the victim. Pray for them, listen to them and give advice when needed.

I heard someone explain what a narcissistic abusive relationship was like and I had no words to explain until I heard this “it’s like having them push you off a high rise only to catch you a few feet before slamming the ground and you in return being so thankful they saved you”

Too focused on gratitude, healing trauma and allowing hard times to shape my character then staying focused on all I lost. That loss redirected me in a way I'm eternally grateful for.

Welcoming all the good coming my way with open arms 😌

the other day I got a compliment that warmed my soul. This person told me that when I smile they felt the authenticity of my joy. May my smile be contagious so others may also experience their own personal joy 🦋

In the heart of gratitude I am grateful that I continue to choose to not run away from healing. Forever desiring to be the best v of myself for myself, my babies and everyone I meet.

in florida you can shower smell amazing then go take your dog for a walk and instantly come back smelling like a wet dog. FL doesn’t want us to win 😭

this thread. The unfortunate part is that 9/10 if we aren’t actively in therapy & surrounded by honest luving community we won’t know that we’re in a trauma bond. My prayer is that ppl would be given divine clarity &leave that trauma bond to be able 2b the best v of themselves

Affirm 🧡

It’s absolutely a beautiful thing to see when people have these characteristics: empathy, teachable, integrity, &boundaries. May we always un learn & learn to become the best version of ourselves 🤍

I hope you get to experience that "I made you a playlist," soft kind of love. Love that feels nurturing, not traumatizing, ill-timed, or emotionally immature. You deserve it.

You can’t control other peoples minds or mouths and you’re not responsible for their perceptions of you. Keep doing you and holding on to what loves you back. You glow regardless.

I’m so happy for you. You traded people pleasing for liberation and the glow up is dazzling.
