Healing amongst it all…
I’m proud of myself—despite everything. A lot has happened over the past few days, and I’ve gained so much clarity from it. You see, in life, you can treat people with respect and empathy, but that doesn’t mean you’ll receive the same in return.
It’s not our job to wonder where we went wrong, or whether we should keep trying. It’s about setting boundaries to protect ourselves. The more you set boundaries, the more you realize how unbothered you become by the noise.
And that’s exactly how I feel. I feel so much better knowing I no longer have to keep spreading myself thin for people who can’t even offer the same consideration in return.
“Quit considering people, where they are inconsiderate of you.”
That’s what I always say: if you keep putting yourself forward for the same people, hoping they’ll finally come through for you, you’ll only end up driving yourself crazy. There’s peace in stepping back—not out of spite, but out of self-respect.
