Sunday Thoughts — A Message for My Facebook Family
Hey friends, I want to share something that’s been on my mind. There are times in life when you’ve helped others, but they still don’t notice, or they treat you like you’re just “one of many.” It happens. And that’s okay.
You don’t owe anyone anything. There are moments when you’ve given your best, and some won’t recognise it or will ask for more. That’s not a reflection on you—it's a moment for you to pause and choose what serves you best. It’s been a big year for a lot of us. If you don’t check in on your people, how do you expect them to check in on you? I saw a post yesterday that reminded me: if you keep playing the same tune, how can you expect to change the song unless you change the tune? When you start choosing yourself, some people will be upset because you’re not giving as much as you used to. You might shift more energy inward and to your own healing. The right people will understand—because they’re on the same path.
Healing is messy, and that’s okay. You’re steering this journey, and you decide where you would like to go. You can stop at a destination to reflect and change what you can, or keep moving forward and release what’s no longer serving you. Choose yourself even when others don’t understand.
Blame is easy, it doesn’t help you move forward. What happened to you may have been unfair or painful, you’re here, and you can make it count. No one else can do this for you, and no one else can force you to change.
If the people you care about pull away or stop checking in, maybe you should check in on them. We all have a limit—everyone’s tank runs empty at times. If someone isn’t prioritising themselves, they may also be running low.
So, Sunday thoughts: keep choosing you. Nurture the relationships that lift you up, check in on the people who matter, and remember that healing is a journey, not a destination.đź’•
