Don't make someone your happiness, healing, or peace because that gives them control over you. Having support through your journey is okay, but depending entirely on someone can easily destroy you. We live in a world there vulnerabilities are rarely understood and very often preyed upon by people. So choose wisely who you trust, because not everyone deserves an authentic, selfless, and honest connection that prioritizes their well-being and happiness above all. Pay attention to how they treat your fears, your doubts, and the softness you rarely show. Some people only stay close to learn your weaknesses, not to protect your strength. And opening up to the wrong person can wound you more than silence ever could. Your healing must be yours first, shared only with those who prove they can hold it gently. So ask yourself honestly—do they deserve your bare soul, or are you just hoping they will?
