“Don't Set Yourself On Fire To Keep Others Warm.” I love this quote. It's a reminder that being kind or selfless isn't always a good thing. In my mind, it's not the self-centered, inconsiderate people that need to hear this quote
Realizing I do have a choice gave me the key to myself what an amazing life I’ve lived. Pain on any level can be an escape or a teacher to self. Gratitude for who we are; we are all a miracle, and. think about that…..✨
I always remember to tell myself if everyone likes me than am I being authentic. I was a people pleaser and I had more "friends" before now I want genuine connections and friendships and life is better it filters out the relationships that would leave me feeling frustrated and now I don't worry about keeping people in my life and it's okay to disappoint and be content and at peace with myself.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's so important to be true to yourself, and I'm glad to hear that you are finding peace and genuine connections now. It's okay if not everyone likes us, what matters most is being authentic and happy with who we are. Wishing you continued strength on this journey! 😊❤
Boy, the opening remarks. Have spent more time than I care to admit “not being myself”, due to the family background more than anything else, and once told a therapist years ago, “I feel like a non-entity …” In “healing”, integrating and more, have seen many latent aspects and thought, “My God, how do so get more of THAT - MORE OF ME!” Recently told the psychologist with whom I am working a couple of things: “I didn’t even really become a person …”, to which she completely agreed. Also, “It took me seventeen years to become regulated enough to work full-time (at anything I could find)”, to which she replied, “Well, it won’t take you seventeen more to become who you are.” I have been at this twenty years at the end of November.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It sounds like you’ve come a long way, and I admire your strength and persistence. Healing takes time, and it’s amazing to hear that you’re discovering more of yourself along the way. Keep going-you deserve to feel whole and at peace. Sending you lots of encouragement and positive thoughts! ❤
