Por Pati, por mí, y por todas mis compañeras.
Remember this Forever:
No matter if it’s intentional or not, if someone hurts you, they say they’re sorry, but they don’t want to make reparations; that’s just manipulation and not an apology. That is why there are four elements in a genuine apology.
Remember that they don’t see it; they‘re not aware of this. They’re just conditioned by other people who didn’t listen to them and didn’t apologise to them.
It’s like saying, “You’re overreacting.” It is a very common form of gaslighting; that doesn’t mean that whoever says that is a mastermind manipulator.
But it does not mean we should allow anyone to dismiss our feelings.
Love them because they need love, but do not be near them.
Be grateful because they showed you your real strength.
People who love you will make an effort to understand you; that’s just the path of life.
People who can look inward are pure gems because they accept their mistakes, as they’re honest and brave; thus, they can change.
You know how a good relationship feels: like listening, understanding, presence, empathy, accountability, and tenderness for both.
Sometimes it will be messy, of course, but in a healthy relationship, both parts will support each other to get back to the center.
You’re beautiful.
You’re free.
And everything your gaze lands on is free as well.
Do not go around looking for peace.
For peace follows you everywhere, looking for room within you.
So smile.
