You can tell people who *care* about you that you’re drowning and they will never care enough to send you a life jacket until you pull them in with you.

Find your peace and understand that you aren’t responsible for other people. Stop showing up for them more than you show up for yourself, because when you finally allow yourself to float, they get mad that you aren’t drowning for them anymore.

2024/12/19 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, many individuals feel overwhelmed with the emotional burdens imposed by others. The quote from H.H., 'It's the same rain you loved that drowned you,' reminds us that the very things we cherish can sometimes become the source of our pain. It's crucial to recognize that your mental and emotional health should take precedence. Setting boundaries is not selfish; it’s necessary for your well-being. Also, it's vital to surround yourself with those who uplift you and cherish your presence rather than draining your energy. Practicing self-compassion is not just a trend; it's a foundational step toward leading a fulfilling life. Ultimately, choosing to float instead of drown allows you to develop resilience and positively impacts others to do the same. Remember, self-care is not an act of luxury but an essential practice that enables you to support those who genuinely matter.

Tell them to Keep It that Way 🫡
When someone says they no longer want to deal with you, it can feel painful, but it’s also an opportunity to grow. Remember, you are worthy of love and respect. Never let anyone’s rejection define your value. People’s choices reflect where they are in their own journey, not where you stand in life.
