Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is a choice. The most regulated, self-respecting thing you can learn to do when that happens is: 

• stop auditioning for understanding 
• stop overexplaining 
• stop chasing reconciliation
• stop managing other people’s emotions
• stop reopening wounds just to prove you’re “loving” 

Jesus modeled for us that once you’ve shown up honestly, clearly, and with care, the rest isn’t yours to fix.

“For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” — Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭

Unfortunately, most of the time, what usually happens next is people may act like nothing happened, or reach out casually without addressing it, or frame the distance as YOU pulling away.

But let the truth stand on its own. Let your nervous system settle. Go live your life. Because there’s a quiet strength in not chasing, not correcting, not proving. 

Here’s three scriptures that’s encouraged me:

1️⃣ “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” — Proverbs 18:2

2️⃣ “If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people. Don’t try to get revenge for yourselves, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath.” — Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18-19‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” — Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭

Bottom line, let people choose you…or not. Happy Monday Yall ❤️

Here’s everything I’m done doing:

❌ Feeling guilty after saying no
❌ Needing to be liked to feel loved

❌ Doing things out of obligation vs alignment
❌ Living from pressure instead of peace
❌ Confusing kindness with self-abandonment
