You really don’t know anyone.

You only know what others WANT you to see.

Yet as you spend more time with that person, you get glimpses of their true self. Fleeting moments that if you aren’t paying attention you will miss it.

Pay attention to how they argue, communicate, deal with difficult issues that arise in the relationship. How they listen to what you have to say and how you feel. For these little nuggets of truth lead you to their truths. Look at their social media and pay attention to who they follow, like and comment on. Who they friend and responses they make to that person.

You see we ALL wear a mask to a certain degree but the truths are always out there.

It’s all about paying attention to what you see and how they make you feel. Anyone can say anything but when it comes down to their own agenda and interests …the truths are right in front of you.

Just pay attention.

When morales and values do not equal your own… the relationship is doomed from the start. It can’t flourish without a common foundation.

Don’t get lost in trying to “fit” in their world or become accepting of behavior that goes against you own comfort zone.

Your own moral guide.

That’s not how relationships work.

When you ignore the signs that are clearly displayed but you become “love blind” to the truth of who that person is… and try to “adapt” to their own behavior… you are diminishing your own light and life path.

Trying to fit where you don’t belong opens a door to your own life that leads to pain and destruction of your own soul.

It’s like trying desperately to put a square into a circle. The two simply do not fit properly.

Don’t settle for anyone that doesn’t have the ability to make you feel loved for exactly who you are.

Learn to let go of those that don’t align with your own core beliefs, values, and morals. As hard as it is at times… they are not meant for you.

Love them through the space between you but do not continue to dance with them in that same space.

Forgive yourself for opening your heart to someone that doesn’t fit your narrative.

Go discover your tribe and fall in love with those that are good for your soul.

Let go of the ones that don’t serve your heart the most beautiful life that you not only deserve but also the life that doesn’t make you question yourself.

Life is about meeting people that add to your life… not the ones you have to prove yourself too.

I was once so blindly in love… until I saw who they truly are.

It was then… and only then… I could turn the light off and close that door… lock it up and walk away.

Without looking back again.

I saw the truth of who he was.. and honestly… it terrified me that I got wrapped into his grips of torture.

Had I just paid attention, and believed what I saw… I would’ve left at the start.

That’s the thing though… he didn’t want me to see his true self.

It would have confirmed to him… that he is in fact… the monster.

The day I opened my eyes… is the day I stopped loving the person I made him out to be and saw him for the person he really is.

He was my lesson.

The one that changed my life path.

It took a lot of abuse from him to wake me up… but I am more awake than ever now!

He was nothing more than a stepping stone to me.

The final stone.

To understanding love and what love is not.

Nothing more.

Just a poisonous snake that crossed my path… bit me… harmed me…but now I am immune to his poison.

Pay close attention to those fleeting moments of truths friends… for that is simply their mask slipping for a brief moment. For that is who they truly are.

Peace, Love and Light

Nomadic soul… no longer seeking.

For I have found myself ❤️
