I Remove Myself and Become the Observer
Every year, I find that my feelings remain unchanged; it just gets easier. Without focusing on my healing, I would have remained unaware, still clouded by the rose glasses. I am now reminded of the dysfunction and unhealthy behaviors that have plagued my experiences. For many years, I faced nothing but disjust. but the truth is, your actions and treatment of others have finally come to light. Instead of taking responsibility, you portrayed me as a terrible person. Family and siblings, everyone gone, it was a cruel mind game that so many still play I pulled the plug along time ago.
Now, I choose to walk a different path, one filled with self-awareness and empowerment. It’s a journey of rediscovery, where I no longer carry the burden of others’ perceptions or toxic narratives. In stepping away, I’ve learned the value of nurturing genuine connections, those that uplift and inspire rather than drain and diminish.
This newfound clarity has allowed me to set boundaries that protect my peace and prioritize my well-being. I’ve realized that healing is not about fixing the past but embracing the present and envisioning a future where love, respect, and kindness are the cornerstones of my relationships.
Through this process, I’ve discovered the importance of surrounding myself with those who see and appreciate me for who I am.
I've come to realize that I am not part of this dysfunction; I am merely an observer of the same narrative played out with different people and dynamics. Healing brings clarity, allowing me to see just how dysfunctional things really uare. Each birthday, Its a clear reminder the only reason I receive a wish is that Facebook reminds them or someone else prompts them.
This experience has led me to vow never to treat my own children that way. I am committed to breaking this cycle for myself and my grandson. I would rather have quiet birthdays with those who genuinely care.
