Love is not possession.

...it is not okay to accept being treated negatively by a person just because they are family.

If anyone accuses you of being "too much" of anything it's because they themselves are largely lacking in the areas you shine.

Stress and anxiety are your mind trying to use logic to meet the expectations of what you think your life should be.

You don't have to do what you used to do just because you used to do it.

You must recognize when it's time to let another's well being be their priority, not yours.

There's nothing wrong with you choosing you.

Honesty with yourself about yourself is the only way to ensure you will create a different outcome by changing the roots of your thinking. You cannot change what you do not admit to.

Validation from another person is superficial and can only be as true as the validation you have for yourself.
