Day 409 || things i stopped doing shoutout
@ALEX_ELLE on instagram:
I stopped doing these things to create healthier relationships with others (and myself):
Expecting people to read my mind. Instead, I started naming my needs and being clear about my boundaries.
Pretending to be strong and okay when I'm not. Instead, I started being honest and vulnerable about my feelings.
Being silent about the things that have hurt me. Instead, I started speaking up and having hard conversations with those around me.
Dishonoring my boundaries to "keep the peace." Instead, I started advocating for myself.
Punishing myself for not healing fast enough…
