It sucks that there are selfish abusive people in the world with little regard for others. They will do whatever it takes to get what they want. They are obviously broken. DON’T LET THEM BREAK YOU!!!
The best way I’ve found to avoid not being broken is to not take things personal. At some point though...if you keep getting hurt over and over its time to look in the mirror and ask yourself “is it me?” As in how am I putting myself in these situations repeatedly. Maybe that needs to be looked at. Maybe there needs to be some healing of my own psyche done on my end. Some patterns I am repeating because they need to be resolved.
If that is the case. It would help me to recognize that no one can resolve those for me. . It may feel like someone or something outside of myself is the key but it generally isn’t. The journey is one within. The healing is from the inside. No time like the present to sit down with that and begin. That is the hardest journey in life. The most difficult task to accomplish. Taking a hard look at ourselves and sitting with who that truly is; the good, the bad and the heartbreaking.
