“They don’t resent you, they resent that you’re a mirror of all the things they could be if they let go of fear and shame and guilt.” ✨ My sister sent me this Tik Tok video ( gen Z’s coming thru strong) that resonated so deeply with me. If you’re anything like me you put a lot of weight on yourself to please everyone always. To always have others look at you in the highest regards and to always be the therapist and the “fixer.” But what they don’t teach you is even if you were the “perfect” human, the shoulder for them to cry on, or the person that always uplifts others in their darkest moments, that doesn’t mean they’ll value those things and there’s even a chance they’ll resent you or dislike you. And a lot of times they’ll have these feelings come on when you’re at your highest or when you’re accomplishing major things because sometimes others can’t or don’t have the ability to be in your light or support you when you’re doing good because it’s a mirror of the things they wish they could. Your light may be too bright for some but it makes room for people who will shine on you just as much as you shine on them. ⭐️ Stay bright. . . . . . #thoughtoftheday #wordsofencouragement #selflovejourney #upstateny #spreadkindness #journaling
