Rebirth: Day 1

Today marked Day 1 Rebirth of a new chapter. 

It marked the day when I told myself I will no longer shrink myself to love someone. ❤️ 

It doesn't mean I no longer love, but I now know I no longer need to shrink myself any longer. 

For shrinking yourself in order to love someone,

 to keep someone, 

because of their own insecurities, 

their own sense of inadequacy, 

or their sense of abandonment,

 to keep a relationship = 

meant that you didn't trust yourself or the person to love you for who you are. 

It meant you were hiding, and tiptoeing because you were afraid to lose them. 

And is it really worth it?

And that was something I never realised till today. It took me to step out of the fog, to realise shrinking myself had meant I was afraid to be loved for who I really was. ❤️ 

And I did this today to break a pattern that manifested itself in its many different forms, 

so we can finally live in freedom. And liberty. 

So no more tiptoeing. ❤️ 

No more shrinking. ❤️ 

No more shame. ❤️ 

No more shrinking for someone’s fragility. ❤️ 

No more over-function emotionally just to “keep things from falling apart.”❤️ 

Just be who you authentically are. 

And if they love you, they will adapt. 

And they will come back to you. ❤️

And indeed, you shall know the truth, the truth will set you free. (John 8:32)
