Two things can be true at the same time.
You can love someone deeply and still acknowledge the ways you were hurt.
You can understand someone’s story and still need boundaries.
You can feel afraid and still move forward.
Healing often happens when we stop forcing ourselves into “either/or” thinking and begin making space for “and.”
Both can exist.
Your feelings can coexist.
Your experiences can coexist.
And you are allowed to hold compassion for others while also caring for yourself. 🤍
