In truth, the happier you personally become, the fewer people you’ll find you have in your life.
This is ok, and very natural.
Learn to protect your happiness, say no to those who drain it or take away from it, walk away from those who want you to live differently than what you feel is best, and trust yourself above all else.
The healthier you become, the more people who are not healthy will no longer be able to stick to you or influence your decisions. This often feels strange at first, because these people are normally family members, a partner of yours, or even your best friends at the time.
All you can do is invite people into your peace, and if they cannot take it, don’t worry- their departure and absence is never permanent. It’s just necessary for your happiness-and believe me, the less you have people around that take away your energy and drain you of it, the happier you will become (even if at the end of the day, it’s just you and your pup day in and day out).
Trying to be the source of happiness and stability for others is an exhausting and impossible task.
So just do it for you. Because when you’re truly happy, you’ll understand that you’re capable of anything & everything. The infinite possibilities will even reveal to you how to love those not currently a part of your life, how to care for them so that they too, reach the same place you do.
Caring for yourself and choosing your happiness is never a selfish act. It is the only act that will ever make you truly able to be there for the ones you love.
And if you are someone that feels people walk away from a lot-it’s ok. People leaving isn’t a sign that there’s anything wrong with you. Just that there are different means and paths for you to take other than clinging to someone who needs you to let go.
Learn to let go both ways. Love someone and yourself enough to know when you are suffocating, versus healing and nurturing each other.
If something isn’t working out, all the trying in the world may make it mend a little-but the truth is, that’s the world’s way of letting you know to let go.
Resistance and difficult emotions are not meant to be battled, but embraced and acknowledged to turn the other direction.
