This makes so much sense, I nearly ran into a 🐍 yesterday and have spent over a year wondering why it bit me.
Give this a read to break the cycle and attachment of anyone who has hurt you and is still lingering in your energy.

🐍 The Snake Bite
There’s an old story about a person who gets bitten by a snake. Instead of tending to the wound… instead of stopping the bleeding… instead of pulling the venom out… they chase the snake down.
They want answers. Why did you bite me? What did I do to deserve this? Don’t you see who I am? You shouldn’t have done that. They spend all of their time trying to make sense of the bite, trying to change the nature of the snake, trying to convince it to become something it was never going to be.
Meanwhile… the poison spreads.
How many of us have done this in our own lives? We get hurt, betrayed, lied to, or abandoned, and instead of healing, we obsess. We replay conversations. We wait for apologies that may never come. We try to explain ourselves to people who have already shown us they were never truly listening. We pour our energy into understanding the one who hurt us instead of caring for the part of us that was wounded.
The truth is simple, even if it’s uncomfortable. Some people bite because that’s their nature. Some systems wound because that’s how they were built. Some relationships poison because we stayed too long hoping they would become something different. You cannot heal by chasing what hurt you. You cannot recover by begging a snake to have compassion.
Your responsibility is not to educate the snake. Your responsibility is to heal yourself.
Close the wound. Pull out the venom. Learn what the moment came to teach you and move forward with clearer eyes and stronger boundaries. You don’t need closure from the one who caused the pain. You need clarity within yourself.
Stop chasing snakes. Start saving your own life.
