Trying to Decenter: men

This post isn’t about hating men. In fact, it’s important to accept the masculine (animus as Jung put it) within you to be at peace with yourself and choose the right partner.

I’m trying to clock myself when I notice that I’m pouring all my energy and attention into men.There are many great men with integrity and values, but you only have one of you. There are no drafts in this life so let’s start living our lives accordingly.

I’m a future therapist, wellness and beauty lover and just a girl 💞💖🥹#Lemon8Diary #psychstudent #Relationship101 #psychologyinsights
