@midlifehealingjourney: Hey Mo’ Fo’. Look at me. Living my finest without your sorry ass. You won’t always feel your current state of reactive. One day you’ll run into them and your body won’t spike. No shaking, no looping, no rehearsed speech in your head. Just a neutral moment, and then you keep living your life. That is healing. Not because they changed. Because you did. If it still hits hard right now, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your nervous system still remembers what your mind is trying to outgrow. Keep going. It gets quieter. It gets easier. And eventually… they’re just a person you used to know and have to see again. But if you do, know it gets better. #narcissisticabuserecovery
