In order to heal sometimes you entertain revenge fantasies about the person that hurt you. But... focusing on the “other” will only wound you further amd debilitate and stunt your recovery. Make yourself the priority, make your life the point of reference. Be the wholesome person that you can be proud of.
Sometimes we get lost in the chaos and drama of what is taking place in our lives. That can so easily consume us and distract us - this can disconnect us from our true self
You will one day experience joy that matches this pain. You will cry euphoric tears at the Beach Boys, you will stare down at a baby’s face as she lies asleep in your lap, you will make great friends, you will eat delicious foods you haven’t tried yet, you will be able to look at a view from a high place and not assess the likelihood of dying from falling. There are books you haven’t read yet that will enrich you, films you will watch while eating extra-large buckets of popcorn, and you will dance and laugh and have sex and go for runs by the river and have late-night conversations and laugh until it hurts. Life is waiting for you. You might be stuck here for a while, but the world isn’t going anywhere. Hang on in there if you can. Life is always worth it.
