@ldyjsmyn3: I owe myself an apology. For all the times I ignored my intuition because I wanted to see the best in someone. For every excuse I made for behavior that hurt me. For doubting my reality when I was being manipulated into questioning it. For carrying guilt that never belonged to me. For believing that if I loved harder, gave more, or stayed longer, things would finally change. Healing after narcissistic abuse means realizing that the person who hurt you may never apologize. So I stopped waiting for their accountability and started giving myself the compassion I deserved all along. I'm sorry for abandoning myself to keep the peace. I'm sorry for accepting less than I deserved. I'm sorry for making myself smaller so someone else could feel bigger. Today, I choose me. And that is the apology I've needed the most. #LifeLessons #Truth #Survival #SelfLove #HealingJourney
