Intimacy is not sex, although sex can be intimate. Intimacy means mutually honest, warm, caring, safe relationships-where the other person can be who he or she is and we can be who we are-and both people are valued. Melody Beattie The Language of Letting Go

Giving to and doing things for and with people are essential parts of healthy living and healthy relationships. But learning when not to give, when not to give in, and when not to do things for and with people are also essential parts of healthy living and healthy relationships. It is not good to take care of people who take advantage of us to avoid responsibility. It hurts them, and it hurts us. There is a thin line between helping and hurting people, between beneficial giving and destructive giving. We can learn to make that distinction.

Today, I will not wait for others to see and care; I will take responsibility for being aware of my pain and problems, and caring about myself.

“Some of my feelings have been stored so long they have freezer burn.” Beyond Codependency
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This has been another healing week for me. Much of my pain, grief and emotions are coming out layer by layer.
This week I specifically felt such shame in how much time I’ve spent obsessively focusing on the negative. It’s time I can’t get back and half the stuff I thought was true & half was a figment of my overthinking. In neither case did I have control of actions only responsibility was for mine.
As I rebuild my life I just take things day by day. I allow whatever comes of a day to stand on its own.
Yes, I have plans for the future, hopes, dreams and desires. I know now one by one those things will come to fruition in my life when the time is ripe. I am grateful for the opportunities ahead of me.

Acceptance is the ultimate paradox: we cannot change who we are until we accept ourselves the way we are.
