And also, I am not my mother and he is not my father.

And so there's also the possibility that there's an opportunity here for there to be some healing, whether together or not.

An opportunity though, nonetheless, to really practice healing

what it is to be the person that I know I want to be in this world versus who I thought I was, right?

And that's like going so far back into, again, the conditioning of the chronic people pleasing and like wanting to just say yes and wanting to be like sweep it under the rug and keep it moving, you know?

I think also you saying you wanting to stay, it's interesting because your want isn't enough.

You can want it so bad, but that's just not enough.

And I think that understanding where that want comes from is also really important.

Because if you're just doing it to want to prove other people wrong,

then you're just doing it for others.

And that's not a good place, you know, to come from.

And it's interesting because, well, first off, I've never talked about this.

So it is, I'm thankful for the safe space to be able to talk about it because some of the stuff that I was challenged with, there's a private heartbreak that's taking place and then there's a public heartbreak that's taking place.

And both are extremely painful.

But what was, I think, the hardest part for me to navigate through was giving myself that space and grace to make that decision for myself

Um, and that was one of those moments where it was an opportunity for me to heal and look inward as to, okay, whether it's this person or another person that I get into a relationship with, I'm capable of still making these same decisions.

So this is more than just like, well, let me be the Barbie that everybody wants me to be and play Cupid with all of these cute guys in the industry that everybody wants me to be with.

And because my life is supposed to be entertainment for other people.

Or let me, you know, really listen to what other people's perception is on what an empowered woman is.

you know, this very binary thinking, right?
