@itsamymillie: You are allowed to take up space. Maybe you had to play small and be someone who didn’t need much from people to survive the environment you grew up in. Your need for dependency that was rejected earlier on in life is what strengthens your adult relationships. When we can depend on the trusted people we love, we allow them into our internal world. We allow them to know us in the way we crave. We allow ourselves to trust that it is safe to be cared for by people. And in turn, we let the people we care for depend on us too. And through this vulnerability and healthy dependency, we learn to love one another deeply. ♥️ #selfawareness #emotionalintelligence #selfdevelopment #relationshipadvice #healthyrelationships
