Nice to meet you, Nikki. I think the idea of giving both ourselves and others time, instead of immediately ending relationships, is very warm and realistic. 😇
I feel this. The process is real, and I seriously struggle with it sometimes. Thank you for the words that are so true and thank you for the encouragement. I need it.🧡
I can relate to this 100%. It is definitely lonely and I like the advice to not over explain and some relationships need less attention or space for a while. I am in the midst of that and figuring out who drains my energy that I used to tolerate all the time.
It’s been 13 years, and these truths are still exactly the reminders I needed in this moment. The struggle is real even if less overwhelming than in the earliest days. “Stop performing certainty you don’t feel” and “Keep going when no one claps” 🎯🎯 i felt the messages resonate in my body. Bingo. Thank you for your words 🙏🏼
I’m so glad to hear that this landed right when you needed it. Time heals all wounds, at least that’s what they convince us of. But there is no time limit on healing. Some of these beliefs run very deep. Patience and loving kindness is always available to you, if you’re willing to give and receive it.
The line about "becoming the rules" really stayed with me. So much of healing isn't creating a new self—it's finally seeing the invisible patterns we've mistaken for who we are. Beautifully written.
Thank you! It’s been something I’ve struggled with myself and I know so many others judge themselves for feeling like they don’t truly belong anywhere.
Such an important article. It's true, I also struggle with this. Thank you for writing this. It is relatable. 💕🌷

It’s also the most compassionate thing we can do in most instances. Not all, but most.

You’re welcome. I am so glad you resonated with it. Sometimes we believe these experiences are only ours when they are actually many people’s.

It truly comes down to what feels aligned to you, and that could be a moving target when we are changing daily.

thank you for wiring this - it allowed me to reframe the loneliness as the still space i am existing in as my SELF changes
