"I think real growth and healing is noticing how we’re feeling and responding differently to those feelings, rather than not having the feelings at all."

This is so refreshing! I recently had someone end a friendship with me for this very thing! My healing didn't look like hers. While she indulged in toxic positivity, I unapologetically allow myself to acknowledge AND feel my frustrations, anger, sadness, etc. She said it was too much for her and that I should be more positive (not that I wasn't by any means)..just not positive enough for her I guess. My healing journey is my own and is unique to me. I give myself permission to be it without pressure of what other people's journeys look like.
