🩹LOVING PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOUR WOUNDS MORE THAN YOUR TRUTH

Good mornin, dear reader; 

There are people who are drawn to your pain
more than to your heart.
People who connect with the version of you that struggles,
breaks, apologizes,
and survives quietly.

They love the you that needs them,
not the you that grows.
Not the you that heals.
Not the you that becomes stronger, clearer, freer.

Some connections are built on imbalance—
on your softness,
your caretaking,
your silence,
your self-doubt.
Your wounds make them feel important,
necessary,
superior even.

But when you start healing,
the dynamic shifts.
You become more honest.
You set boundaries.
You speak from your truth, not from your hurt.
And suddenly, they pull away.

Because your truth asks something
your wounds never did:
reciprocity.
Presence.
Growth.
Responsibility.

Loving people who love your wounds
is a quiet form of self-abandonment.
You keep dimming your truth
so they won’t leave.
You shrink your voice
so they won’t feel uncomfortable.
You stay broken
because your wholeness threatens the connection.

But here’s the liberation:
Anyone who loves you only when you’re wounded
is not loving you —
they’re loving the role you play in their story.

The people meant for your life
will honor your truth,
not your fractures.
They will meet you in your strength,
not only in your pain.
They will celebrate your healing,
not fear it.

Let yourself rise.

The right hearts will rise with you. 

Receive a hug from the heart and remember to share.
