Replace "I should've known" with "now I know better."
Forgive yourself, because self-shame is self-sabotage.
The first person you need to be loyal is yourself.
Say it with me:
"One thing about me, I always get through it."
If you get rejected for refusing to be manipulated, be thankful for the redirection to what is meant for you.
Release what released you.
It's never too late to:
*start over
*do what you love
*change
*reclaim your health
*apologize
*be who you want to be
*do better
*love
*get your life together
There is no past version of yourself that you "need to get back to."
Life is about flowing forward and growing with the new lessons learned.
You deserve love, even if you're still healing.
Sending love to anyone reckoning with their own toxic habits and trying their best to unlearn them. You are seen, you are brave and with a little bit of discipline, you are going to make it.
