Navigating the Maze: Unveiling the Secrets of Healthy Relationships
[…]like many of you, I've grown all too accustomed to the definitions of toxicity and trauma, while the concept of healthy relationships has remained somewhat elusive. Coming from a tumultuous household characterized by incessant yelling, arguing, and various forms of abuse, I became desensitized to toxicity in relationships, and often downplayed the trauma I endured.
In our recent exchanges – both online and offline – I've discerned a common thread among us: a collective desire to dissect and define what constitutes a healthy relationship, what it unequivocally is not, how to cultivate one, and the ongoing effort required to sustain healthier dynamics.
Healing Scared
“sometimes it takes your heart breaking a few times for you to become independent in important and healthy ways. heartbreak shows you that your self-worth and wholeness should not depend on another's words or love. use the hurt as a map that leads inward to pursue your healing and ignite your self-love.”
—young pueblo (clarity & connection, pg. 96)
The nerves can be quite present but taking that step, trying it out, really makes a difference. And maybe that's what yung pueblo is saying.
How Healing Looks On Me
By Eryn Murray
Before, I just wanted people to like me when I should have just like myself. Now that I am in a place of awareness, it feels good to know that I took the effort to understand my reactions to situations that I took very personally. I cannot place unrealistic expectations on people based on how I treat them. I can trust people to be people.
Encouragment for the Present
Looking back, I can tell you that there will come a time when you'll wake up and realize that the nightmare has faded.
You'll still feel the pain of the past but you'll also feel the encouragement of the present and realize that despite what heartache life throws your way, you have overcome what was impossible. Your heart will refresh as you continue to move forward.
Destined to Breathe
Drenched in these salty tears
Asking the question which I find myself repeating again:
Why am I so broken?
If I touch someone or let them in…will I break them too?
Why…. why am I so scared?
