@teresondupuy: You are never going to stop being who you are. You will always be big-hearted. Deeply loving. Sensitive. Open. That is not the problem. Your sensitivity is a gift. The way you love is a gift. What can change is how you protect that gift. You can become more secure. You can heal the wounds that make you overgive. You can detach from people who drain you. You can develop stronger boundaries. More discernment. More self-trust. You can learn that loving someone does not require abandoning yourself. Maybe that is what the pain has been trying to teach you. Not to become colder. Not to love less. Not to harden your heart. But to become wiser about where you place it. You do not need to become less of who you are. You need to become more protective of who you are. Your heart is still a gift. Believe that. #SelfLove #HealingJourney #InnerWork #AttachmentStyle #Awakening
