Wellness, Wholeness & Self-Care ♥️

Maybe right now your journey is about you. Maybe this is the season you are being challenged to be your own savior, to be your own safe place. Maybe right now you are being reminded — that the people who walked away were only ever leading you back to yourself, were only ever leading you here. And here, you are okay on your own. Here, you are rebuilding. Here, you are adapting, and mending, and reclaiming all of the pieces you let them walk away with. Here, you are being kinder to your soul, you are giving yourself the same kind of love you have always given to others. Here, you are not rushing your heart, you are not depending on another human being to fix it. Instead, here, you are doing that on your own. Here, you are healing. When you are ready to put your heart into this world again, do not look for the same kind of love you have experienced; resist the urge to compare the human beings that come into your life to the ones that have left.

Any men out there still like this?

Men don’t seek counseling… they seek new women.
Not healing. Not accountability. Not inner work. Just a fresh start with someone who doesn’t know the script yet. Someone who hasn’t seen behind the curtain. Someone they can impress with the same charm, the same story, the same false humility—because she hasn’t learned how deep the damage goes. Yet.
Instead of going to therapy, they go back to being “that guy.”

Instead of owning the pain they caused, they gaslight the memory of it.
Instead of rebuilding what they broke, they rebuild their image in someone else’s eyes.
Because healing requires honesty. Growth demands discomfort. Accountability asks for vulnerability. And some men would rather protect their ego than do the uncomfortable work of unpacking their trauma, their pride, their insecurities, and the patterns they keep blaming on “crazy exes.”

So they ghost the woman who knew the truth…
And charm the one who doesn’t.
They don’t want growth, they want a reset.
Not to change—just to relocate the lie.
But here’s the thing: you can run from your past, but it catches up in your patterns. You can get a new girl, a new number, a new city—but if the same version of you shows up, the story will end the same. Because unhealed men ruin new hearts.

Ladies, never take it personally when a man skips over healing and moves on quickly. That’s not a reflection of your worth. That’s a sign of how deep his avoidance runs. He didn’t choose her because she’s better—he chose her because she doesn’t yet require what you did: growth, honesty, emotional maturity.
Let him lie in peace. Let him pretend. Because that cycle only repeats until he finally meets himself. And that moment? Can’t be avoided forever.

And for the men reading this—go to therapy.
Heal so your love doesn’t become someone else’s lesson.
Do the work so your next relationship isn’t just a rerun in a different outfit.
The truth will always require more from you than a lie. But the truth will set you free.
