"Baby steps are how realistic progress is made. If we hear those words, "baby steps," & think we're being condescended to, it often means we've been conditioned to believe we're somehow "beyond" making incremental gains-- & that idea poisons realistic recovery. Don't fall for it."

YOU CAN GRIEVE
THE ENDING
OF SOMETHING
AND STILL BE GLAD
THAT IT'S OVER - Alex Elle

They said:

"I don't want to blame my parents for everything."

I answered:

You're not blaming.
You're naming.
And that's different.

Blame keeps you stuck in the past.
Naming helps you understand what shaped you.

You're allowed to say,
"This hurt me."
Even if they were trying.
Even if they meant well.

And once you can name it,
you become responsible for what you do with it.
Not for what happened,
but for the life you build form here.
