The Moment I Stopped Abandoning Myself

I used to think healing would feel like a breakthrough.

A big, dramatic moment where I’d suddenly feel empowered, confident, whole.

But that’s not how it happened.

The moment I stopped abandoning myself wasn’t loud.

It wasn’t a ceremony or a celebration.

It was quiet.

Unremarkable to anyone else.

But to me?

It was everything.

🌿 It Wasn’t a Rise: It Was a Return

I was sitting alone after yet another emotionally exhausting “situationship.” Another connection that started out magnetic and ended in silence.

I wanted to text him.

To explain myself.

To beg for clarity.

To fix what was never fully formed.

But instead…I sat still.

I felt the ache.

The fear.

The panic.

And I didn’t move.

I didn’t abandon myself to chase someone who had already turned away.

I didn’t override the part of me that knew this wasn’t love.

I didn’t trade my peace for performance.

That moment didn’t look like much.

But it was the moment everything changed.

💛 The Choice That Changes Everything

Every time I paused instead of chased…Every time I let fear rise and still chose calm…Every time I stayed loyal to myself when I wanted to run back to the pain I once called love…

That’s when healing happened.

Not in a quote.

Not in a retreat.

Not in a journal entry.

But in those tiny, sacred choices that whispered:

“I’m not leaving myself this time.”

That’s when I stopped living out my wounds and started living from my worth.

🧠 What It Means to Be Secure

Being secure doesn’t mean you never get triggered.

It doesn’t mean you never miss someone who couldn’t meet you.

It doesn’t mean you’re always calm or always certain.

It means you know how to come back to yourself.

And you trust yourself to stay.

That’s what secure love is:

Not perfection.

Not constant confidence.

But presence.

And return.

🩵 You Don’t Have to Keep Chasing Love

You don’t have to prove you’re enough.

You don’t have to shrink to fit.

You don’t have to abandon your needs to be chosen.

You get to lead your love life now.

With calm.

With clarity.

With the kind of compassion your younger self never got to receive.
