A relationship can only thrive when two people are fully present and devoted to each other, no matter the storms outside or the battles within. You’re either in it together, or you’re not in it at all. But here’s something most of us never stop to consider… what if the greatest shift you can make for your relationships has nothing to do with the other person?
For years, I thought I just hadn’t met the ‘right’ one. After two divorces, losing my mom, and raising my son alone, I had every reason to believe my heartbreak was about them. And yet… in every relationship, there was one common denominator.
Me.
It’s confronting to admit this I know. We have the best of intentions, we’re intelligent, capable, loving… and still, something inside keeps us repeating the same painful patterns. For me, I realized I was making decisions from a wounded heart I didn’t even know I had. I was moving so fast, keeping up appearances, trying to be perfect… that I never stopped to truly feel. And when I did? I didn’t like what I found.
Shame. Not-enoughness. Humiliation..
So I spun faster. Smiled brighter. Planned further ahead. And it only pushed me further from the intimacy I craved.
The truth is, until we slow down, meet ourselves fully, and heal from the inside out… we will keep attracting relationships that mirror our unhealed parts..
My patreon Deep Dive Den, is all about going to the root cause of it..let’s explore what it means to take responsibility not as self-blame, but as self-liberation. Because when you change… every relationship changes..
Are you ready to look inward, not to find fault, but to find freedom?
