I hate to say it, but not everyone will value the same things you do in life.
That’s been one of the hardest deepest lessons for me to learn… and honestly, one that’s still teaching me.
It can be painful when you realize someone doesn’t hold the same values you do - especially when it comes to relationships, trust, or integrity. But it’s also been a lesson that’s turned me back toward myself. It’s made me look closer at my own values, and ask if I’m truly living in alignment with them. It's been a lesson in boundary work as well.
I’ve realized that for me, safety, trust, honesty, communication, and loyalty are everything - in friendship, love, and within myself.
Because that’s where it starts… inside.
What about you? What values guide you, especially when things get hard? ❤️
