A reminder

In due course, you'll understand that numerous individuals will adore the concept of you, yet may not possess the emotional depth to deal with the actual essence of you

It can be difficult to trust again after being hurt so deeply, but you’ll be happier in the long run staying true to your own nature than changing because of someone else.

Sometimes it is difficult to trust once you’ve been hurt. Not just others, but also yourself.

This is gorgeous!

I am hoping it is so.

Yes. All of this. Every single one of them. It’s like a checklist for my personality.

I am still trying to come to terms with this.

"The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs." -Joan Didion

It’s easy to fall back into old patterns. Be gentle with yourself as you continue to check in and mindfully shift when needed.
