Stay away from people who make you feel like you are hard to love.

So many of us are conditioned to keep trying…trying to be enough, trying to be loved, trying to give just the right amount, trying to keep it together, trying be perfect, trying to not disappoint or anger or irritate. Trying for families or parents or spouses or friends or romantic partners that are not in any way willing or equipped to give back something emotionally healthy and full. That conditioning is bullshit. The campaign to be loved leaves you depleted, exhausted, insecure, fearful and stuck. It’s okay to end the campaign. It’s okay to find a new tribe – a new family or friendship or romantic relationship. It’s okay to let all of these go in favor of loving YOURSELF. It’s more than okay..it’s necessary and it’ll bring you back to life.
