My therapist told me yesterday: some people (especially family) will choose to remember & recognize only the version of you that they held the most power over, no matter how long it's been or how much you've changed.
hardest pill i’ve had to swallow this year so far was learning that no matter how good u can be to someone, no matter how long you’ve been there for them, no matter how much u love them... that they CAN & they WILL turn their back on u. and there is nothing you can do but detach.

It made me wanna die.
It pushed me to places I never wanna see again.
And opened doors that have been nailed shut.
I made myself stronger.
ME.

Become a ghost. Forget attention, validation, recognition, and what people think of you. Focus on yourself. Live in private. Date in private. Make money in private. Heal in private. Unlearn in private. Work on yourself in private. Grow in private. Checkmate in public.
