Don’t confuse “familiar” with “acceptable”. Toxic relationships can fool you like that.
No matter what you do, some people will always wonder if you love them back. Emotional trauma can be like that.
Some people are mad at you because they made the mistake of underestimating you. They threw you under the bus and you survived.
A quiet cozy night... Just us... I wish I knew then, but I’m grateful I know now... It’s simply everything in life.
If I can erase your opinion by turning off wifi you don’t have that much power over me.
Life’s rainy days... They bring out the rainbows, but they also bring out the worms. Pay attention to who’s who and what’s what.
A Narcissist is someone who sticks their head up their own ass, then blames you for the smell.
It’s amazing how busy someone gets when they have no interest in connecting with you.
Having been both the perpetrator and the victim of poisonous behavior, I’m always skeptical of a person trying really hard to negatively sway my opinion of someone. Also, don’t be fooled... If they gossip to you, they’ll gossip about you.
Pretending not to be hurt isn’t healing. If you want to HEAL from it, you have to DEAL with it.
Some people will laugh at you for taking chances, for chasing your dreams, for living life full out. It hurts a little, but just remember that they’re laughing from their couch.
Today is a great day to reconnect with who you are. Not the You that everyone else convinced you to be... but the real YOU. Stop playing small for other people’s comfort. Reconnect with the power you have to overcome adversity and to shape your life. It’s a new day... and ti’s time for your BADDASSS self to rise and shine!
We’re a species that rushes through everything, then complains that time flies.
I’m so grateful for those who never gave up on me... Those who spoke TO me instead of ABOUT me... Those who showed me the LOVE I wouldn’t show myself.
I love that we get a new day... A new opportunity to move our lives in a positive direction... Let’s be unencumbered by yesterday’s nonsense... a fresh start... Take a deep breath, smile, and start again.
Betrayals shatters illusions... It breaks your heart, but clears your vision.
I loved them so much that I used to drive myself crazy trying to figure out why they were hurting... Why they betrayed me so easily... What was happening in their life that would lead them to treat me so abusively... Then, in a moment of clarity, I realized I’m not the “Narcissist Whisperer” and freed myself from that toxic behavior.
Emotional self-defense is an act of WISDOM. Building personal boundaries is an act of STRENGTH. Anyone who tells you differently is often the reason we need both.
You don’t realize it at the time, but some of life’s roadblocks, detours, and rejections are answered prayers.
Healthy Relationships... Don’t let outside circumstances diminish your inner fire. Adapt, adjust, and keep the romance alive.
You’ve been through enough... Refresh your spirit... Today is a great day to let go of the past... Fall in love with life again.
