You might feel like you dont have a right to complain.

You might feel silly for caring so much.

The important thing to remember is that you were manipulated into feeling shitty about yourself.

The things they told you, the lies they made you believe, werent accurate.

The way they made you feel wasnt okay and thats onthem.

Its a flaw of theirs.

It isnt going to be easy, but it is absolutely necessary.

Moving forward, you have to remember, your emotions are valid.

No one gets to tell you that youre handling your situation thewrongway because theres norightway to handle pain.

Your experiences are yours alone.

No one knows how they would react if they were in your shoes because they arentyou.

They dont know how your past has shaped you.

They cant climb inside your mind, so they dont have a say in the decisions you make.

Remember, you dont need permission from anyone else to feel the way you feel.

You dont need permission to cut someone out of your life, either.

If someone treated you poorly, then you shouldnt deal with them anymore.

You shouldnt accept their phone calls.

You shouldnt respond to their texts.

You shouldnt act polite so that keep the peace.

It doesnt matter if your reaction makes people around you uncomfortable.

You dont need their blessing to get to kick others out of your life.

If you dont want them around, then dont allow them in your world.

You cant look to other people to guide you.

You have to make your own decisions.

You have to set your own rules.

Remember, you are in charge of your own life.

You are in control of your own path.
