RE: What happened while I was away

in GEMS3 years ago (edited)

I understand your anguish, and I am confident that you will overcome it. Heartbreak is common, especially when it comes from someone we didn't expect. I've been heartbroken by a number of people because of high expectations, so now I try to do things with little or no expectations, and it might work for you as well. It's good to have you back!

Hi! I appreciate your encouragements, thank you. Expectations do contribute to pain, standards do not. At what point do we give up our standards just to be loved? It is something to ponder about.
I think that with maturity we can realize what we can accept or not. And we make that decision faster and therefore the pain is far less. It's a journey, you can't rush it and I think that we all try it our way and my way might work for everybody and viceversa. I will continue my activity on Hive at my own pace as I am aware that I have to sit with my painful emotions and not try to run away from them by finding an activity to make me forget about my traumas.

You're more than welcome. That is the greatest option for you.
