🌱Don’t let society tell you to “get over it.”
🌱Know what (and who) to invest in.
🌱Know your limits. Know when to call it.
🌱And, above all else, invest in yourself.
🌱You don’t need to be okay with all things. You can learn how to hold it though.
Image Description: A carousel with three slides about not having to be okay with some things, some losses, and some betrayals.

🌱Closeness should not be at the expense of your individuality.

🌱We are not meant to agree with each other 100% of the time.
🌱Disagreements don’t equate conflict, but the person who agrees with everything you say likely had to adapt to chronic conflict by agreeing just to keep the peace.
Image Description: Michael is sitting in his wheelchair, wearing a sweater, joggers, and his glasses.

🌱Remember, having a boundary or two is never the problem.

🌱And often we have to let them do their thing, acknowledge our grief, and assert whatever boundaries we need to set.

🌱The thing about being the one who ‘keeps the peace’ is that, perhaps every other party is at peace, but it’s at your expense.
🌱We are not at peace with ourselves when we are ‘keeping it.’
ID: Watercolours at the top. Quote in the middle that says, “Every time you ‘keep the peace’ you’re self-abandoning.” Like, Comment, Share, Save graphic on the bottom left. My IG handle and name in script on the bottom right.
