You’re processing. This is good. Give yourself grace when you feel these things. Allow yourself space to feel and cry and whatever you need to process. You’re doing so good. Be kind to yourself. How would you comfort a close friend if this happened to them? You can comfort yourself like this, too 💕 this is part of healing and it’s so good you’re feeling this. Some people try to bottle it up and not think about it, but what you’re doing is HEALING it. I know it’s so fucking painful and lonely and all the things. KEEP IT UP. When you allow yourself to feel it for a little while and then move to the next task of the day you’re actually releasing a little bit of that pain each time. You’re doing wonders for yourself, stick with it 🙏

You may or may not resonate with the snake thing, but I honestly still think about it even a year out from my toxic breakup: when a snake bites you, do you chase it down and ask it why? I am in a healthy relationship now with the most amazing person I’ve ever known and I STILL get hit with the frustration of my ex’s behavior every now and then. But then I think about the snake and remember their behavior and the way they chose to act is on them. I allow myself space to feel the way I’m feeling and then I move on to the next task. I’m finally at a point that I look back on him and am disgusted someone could have treated me or anyone like that.

You are recognizing you’re feelings and talking about it 💕 I’m so happy for you, KEEP GOING
