Sometimes, I believe, there is no self criticising lesson in things. It is realising that someone’s pain or suffering doesn’t give them the licence to hurt you.

Setting boundaries and choosing your self respect is important no matter how much you like being with that person and the memories you have with them

This feels like a really honest reflection on learning when to let go. Sometimes setting boundaries isn’t about hating someone or forgetting what they meant to you,it’s about choosing your own peace after realizing that their actions no longer deserve access to you. I especially liked the ending because it shows that healing can be as simple as slowly choosing yourself, again and again. 🤍
