Dealing With My Emotional Triggers

“If you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you”

This Type of Love Feels Strange To Me

At some point growing up I associated love with abandonment. I love you meant I can't be with you. I love you meant I need to leave you. I love you meant that I'll provide for you financially but I can't be there for you emotionally.

You. Cannot. Save. Me

You cannot save me. You are not the answer. You will not change my life

Don't Get Too Close

Scared of being loved by you. What if I can't reciprocate? Afraid of being judged by you. What if that love turns into hate?

What am I holding for myself and others?

I should do better. I can do better, I try to do better but I always fail. It always starts off promising and hopeful but over time as I look into my hands, I realize that I am usually holding onto the wrong things.

Emotional trauma: figuring out what hurt you.

You will get injured, you will feel pain, and you will get wounded. But you should try your best to ensure that you don’t allow the tragedies of your past relationships to negatively impact the potential of your future ones.

Letting Go of Toxic Relationships

Many a time along your life's journey you will reach a point where the effort that you put into maintaining and conserving a relationship is significantly outweighed by the negative impact of the relationship and the individual, on your life overall. When you reach this point, you need to let go.

I Left Your Sunglasses In Thailand

"This is all I have to say" was the last message that you ever sent to me. And from this moment onwards I heard nothing more from you, absolutely nothing whatsoever, despite the fact I tried to reach out to you multiple times after receiving your text message.
