"Belonging is belonging to yourself first,
speaking your truth,
telling your story,
and never betraying yourself for other people."
Brene Brown
We expect our lives to materialize the way we envision them in our hopes and dreams. When life doesn’t go as planned, it can be difficult to reconcile the disappointment of our new reality. Resistance is the first defense. We don’t want to believe or accept the change.
Expectations were never real. They were nothing more than thoughts in my head. Assumptions. Desires. Never guarantees.
We usually think the bad stuff we hear about only happens to other people. We’re aware that it exists, but not in our reality. Just an abstract thing somewhere else in the world.
Until it happens to us.
