Always treat yourself how you want others to treat you, people are only going to treat you how they see you treat you. When you treat yourself with love, respect, take yourself on dates, or whatever you desire in life when those people come in family,friends, associates,spouse they have NO CHOICE but to treat you with that same level of respect that you treat yourself with PLUS MORE. We definitely have to stop having that “that’s just how I am” mindset because that maybe who you are NOW but that does not have to be your future! By you continuing to say that your only keeping yourself in a stagnant place because what you speak/think will come to reality!
I won’t say I’m healed but I will say I am healing .. I don’t think anyone will ever be 100% healed, because we aren’t perfect and will never be. What I won’t accept though is someone using circumstances that they went through as a excuse to not start that healing process, so that they can use that as a crutch to be a shitty person. We will always go through trials and tribulations, and there can’t be testimonies without test!! So as long as your trying you will become a better you daily.
