No matter how much you want it, you can’t will someone to say the words you’ve always wanted to hear. Words like:

“It’s okay. You did the best you could.”

“I’m sorry. You deserved better.”

“What do you need from me right now?”

“I love you.”

Instead of putting ourselves in unhealthy situations for the chance that person will utter these words, we can simply and lovingly say it to ourselves.

While you’re busy navigating the season with all its expectations and family gatherings, do yourself a favor and speak those words of compassion and love to yourself. And then read our posts for more tips on self-love and self-care.
