Thought if I spoke up for my needs, I’d liberate myself, only for all these years later realizing I coulda been seen as the person you mentioned at the beginning while I was doing so. 🙃. “Oh no I’m not liking where this is going better do something” to “oh no I’m an asshole”. There is no peace. I’m praying for your circumstance, don’t go from victim to villain like my stupid ass. Stay good, stay you
Thank you for the sweet words, but I’d like to add to what you’ve said if it’s okay! It is liberating to speak up for yourself, as long as you’re respectful… but it also becomes unhealthy when you put yourself in a position to keep speaking up for what you need to those that blatantly do not care instead of walking away. (At least as much as you can walk away depending on the circumstances.) Then it just becomes settling loudly and going through unnecessary hurt on top of what you feel. I can only really speak on that bit since the rest is vague and I don’t want to overstep. Thank you for your prayers, I’ve been in your shoes already though and realized how detrimental it can be so I made the hard choice to completely tear myself apart to rebuild into something better. I hope you know that you can too! :) 🖤
