The Different Ways You Abandon Yourself - Saying "yes" when you're aching to say "no." Apologizing to someone who owes you the apology. Digging your heels in deeper when you know you're the one in the wrong. Over-explaining your truth to someone who stopped listening a long time ago. Romanticizing the bare minimum. Begging for basic decency. Chasing people who do not want to be caught. Building a life based on what you think looks "good" but not on what actually feels good. Ignoring your intuition. Ignoring your body. Ignoring your needs. Contorting and bending and breaking to fit in places you know you've outgrown. Staying in a relationship that has run its course. Not allowing time for deep rest. Running on fumes. Staying quiet when someone disrespects you. Refusing to allow what already is. Lying to yourself. Never asking for help. Never taking a chance on yourself. Never living up to your own word. Celebrating those who only tolerate you. Wishing you were someone else. ɪɴ ᴍʏ ғᴇᴇʟɪɴɢs™ ✨🛒
