Maturity is realizing not every loss is a betrayal. How could I be mad at someone for choosing what they think is best for their life?
It’s alright to briefly grieve the what could’ve been, then let go and move on. It’s only a problem when you dwell on it.
I don’t need the past to repeat itself. But I can’t ignore that they helped build the person I am today. You don’t just erase that kind of influence just because you stop speaking.
Maybe that’s the real definition of maturity. It’s accepting that people can matter immensely and still leave. You learn to carry their memory differently, not as a lingering presence, but as evidence of where you've been. It’s bound to happen. We change too much in one lifetime to keep the exact same company. Outgrowing people is just part of the process.
may every sunset u see be a gentle reminder to slow down, appreciate the beauty around u, and fill ur heart with peace
my anxiety comes off as frustration
get overwhelmed when things don't necessarily go as i intended and while im trying to process im thrown off and a bit flustered and that usually perceived as irritable
reflecting on this past year i accept all i've experienced, it's all been a part of my growth
this is the part where i wish i had more of my social circle in closer proximity to me so that i don't completely lose myself like what's happening now
the older u get, the more u realize, length of friendship doesn't determine the value of it, it's ab who makes u feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, loved and supported, well basically get someone that's mature enough (who wants to grow w u in all aspects and chooses u when it might not be the easiest choice) and in these times that's rare to find one; that's precisely why u need to be ur own cheerleader
the sooner u realize that 'not everyone deserves a seat at the table of ur life', the better and quality people u'll have in ur life !! relationships are constantly revolving and it's okay to cut ties w those who don't align w u and keep the higher vibrations around
i personally have lost so many people on my healing and growth journey (so grateful for them), it doesn't mean they're bad people, as far as i know, they grow as well (in a different way) and its just that life just moves on, different phases, take the teachings from all of them and look forward, not in the rear view mirror
'sometimes in life, as we grow, friends go', friendship itself is a two street, i used to hold onto friendships bcs of how long i've known the person, completely blinded by how that wasn't good for me
