For whoever needs a little (affirming) reality check:

Your impact is far greater than you give yourself credit tor.

Every smile, compliment, kind gesture, conversation, showing up for yourself and modeling self care, and so on, COUNTS far more than you’ll ever know.

Sending you love!

Whose influence can you accept today?

I wish more people knew this, and that we normalized the work that often comes up when we’re adults if we didn’t have caregivers model healthy relationships for us as children.

Things like setting healthy communication norms, emotional regulation norms, and how to show up for each other, are often missing when you didn’t grow up with parents who modeled this for you.

If you weren’t modeled healthy relationships growing up, there’s a good chance your barometer for what’s healthy or ‘normal’ is off.

Knowing there’s work to be done not only mentally prepares you, it makes you feel less alone, less like there is something wrong with you (it’s not your fault. You just don’t have the blueprint) and more empowered that you can absolutely teach yourself to attach securely to the people in your life as an adult.

It takes work, intention, self compassion, and patience. But you can absolutely do it.

What are your thoughts here?
