“You Don’t Have To Explain Your Dreams, They Belong To You.”

“You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.”

— Iyanla Vanzant

She is 10, but do you know she likes to stay in her head? She is used to disappointment, needs care, overthinks a lot, needs constant reassurance, relies on her writings and books to keep her sane, is possessive, loves way too hard, and shuts down when anyone tries to talk to her about her feelings. She distances herself when she feels like an option; she hurts herself. She is 10, but do you know that?

i don’t think people understand how hard it is when your toxic trait is self isolation plus avoidance. everybody instantly think you’re ignoring them but you’re just struggling to find peace
